The 2023 gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in Borno State, Mohammed Ali-Jajari, decried the spate of insecurity in the state, saying the threat makes rubbish of the Federal Government’s victory claim over the Boko Haram insurgency group.
Ali-Jajari made this declaration via a press statement obtained by DECENCY GLOBAL NEWS while condoling with the families of the last Gwoza bomb blasts in the state.
Our correspondent reports that the government had confirmed the loss of over 20 lives, resulting in the triple suicide bomb blasts resulting from the offensive launched by the insurgents.
The statement partly read, “My heart goes out to the people of Gwoza, there has been terrible news and great sadness in our dear state Borno and Nigeria at large.’’
“A bomb blast in Gwoza has killed dozens and so many injured. Indeed, it was a terrible affliction.
“While the present government is claiming to have disrupted and dismantled criminal networks, Boko Haram, Kidnapping and banditry continues to ravage the lives of many ordinary citizens of Nigeria.
“Whereas, from the President to the lowest political office holder in Nigeria are protected by security personnel, the ordinary masses whom they the (political office holders) swore to protect their lives, provide security and welfare are left unattended.
“The debilitating and grinding poverty afflicts us all. There’s utter disconnect between ordinary Nigerians and public office holders.
“We call on the Federal Government, States and Security agencies to stop the empty rhetoric and act now,” Ali-Jajari advocated.
