Buhari's former minister Dalung raises serious allegations against FG over insecurity
Meanwhile, Dalung had said President Muhammadu Buhari had failed Nigerians and disappointed many, including him with his inability to tackle growing insecurity in the country.
Dalung, in a post shared on his official Facebook page on Sunday, April 10, lamented that the president is sharing power with northwest bandit leader, Bello Turji and ISWAP terrorists, with his failure to tackle insecurity.
The former minister noted that he joined other Nigerians to campaign for the APC due to the manner in which the former President Goodluck Jonathan was handling the security problems in the country then.
He affirmed that he met with the former president and offered his advice on how he can tackle the growing insecurity then, but his advice was rejected.
