Former Nigerian leader, Olusegun Obasanjo has again tackled President Muhammadu Buhari over rising insecurity in the country.
Daily Sun reports that Obasanjo faulted the current security structure under Buhari, noting that “criminality has become the order of the day”.
Obasanjo made the assertion during a speech he delivered at the 2020 Sobo Sowemimo Annual Lecture in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.
According to the report, Obasanjo made a case for the restructuring of the nation in the speech titled: “COVID-19 And Nigeria Security Issues: The Way Forward”.

The former leader said the country would continue to experience a high level of insecurity until the restructuring of the federation takes place.
"I remain firmly convinced that without reform of federating units, as I will like to satisfy those who may not like the word ‘restructuring’, Nigeria will remain insecure, unstable, non-progressive and stagnated at best or disintegrated at the worst," Obasanjo said.
Obasanjo said all the parts of the country must work together for the restructuring to be achieved. He also urged the different nations that make up Nigeria to forget the mistakes of the past and build the country for a new future.
Obasanjo has always had one complaint or the other about the Buhari administration and has written letters and delivered several lectures like this one criticising the government's style.
