In the opinion of Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River, the spate of Nigeria's insecurity is way beyond the capacity of President Muhammadu Buhari to deal with.
Ayade who is a presidential hopeful of the All Progressives Congress (APC) noted that insecurity is not peculiar to the country and as such, international aid should be sought.
The governor who spoke with Channels TV on Thursday, April 28, said a lot of people address insecurity as a local and leadership issue because they do not understand what it entails.

“It is because people don’t understand the international dimension of this security challenge that they dismiss it as if it is a Nigerian or leadership issue.
“It is a global issue with the focus on keeping Nigeria unstable and so you need some international strategic and security connection to actually address the issue. It is far beyond the President and the capacity of the President of Nigeria.”
