Ologbondiyan said a recent statement by the presidency that Nigerians should wait on God for solutions to the insecurity in the country is evidence that the administration is incompetent.

He said:

"This statement further goes to confirm that the Buhari’s administration has outlived its usefulness, if it had any, and that the promises and assurances made by President Buhari, on the fight against insecurity amount to mere lip service."
