Security consultant and defence strategist, Col. Hassan Stan-Labo (rtd.), has said former president Muhammadu Buhari did nothing in the fight against terrorism in the country, rather he made the fight harder to win.
Col. Stan-Labo made this statement during an interview on Arise News on Wednesday.
The military expert insisted that Buhari, instead of fighting terrorism, romanced with those perpetrating the act and even granted amnesty to some terrorists that were nabbed.
He urged the new administration not to follow in the same direction and do things differently.
He said, “I agree that General Buhari in the last eight years or thereabout did virtually nothing and I mean virtually nothing in our fight against terrorism, if anything, he promoted and enhanced our hardship as far as our fight against terrorism is concerned.
“It’s unfortunate that we’re talking about our number one citizen as at then within the period of the last eight years, a period I refer to that Nigeria had no political leader.
“We saw all the lines of actions taken by the political strategic level of decision making, we saw all the lines of actions even from the presidency, we saw how minister who had business or things to do do with terrorists were made to remain in their positions as ministers, one was even in charge of our entire national data, we could go on and on.
