Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Lt. General Tukur Buratai, has blamed the insecurity in Nigeria on the political class.<\/p>\n

He made the remark while noting that the ninth National Assembly was trying to derail Nigeria\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

Buratai recalled how the ninth National Assembly moved to sack the then Service Chiefs, but former President Muhammadu Buhari stopped it.<\/p>\n

He spoke at a lecture to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the University of Ibadan Alumni Association on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe National Assembly had twice or more passed resolutions calling for the sack of the service chiefs. The President, Muhammadu Buhari had told the Ninth National Assembly to mind their business.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf properly interpreted, the call by the Ninth National Assembly was to derail the democracy by the military.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis should be a lesson for political actors. It was a direct confrontation, blaming the service chiefs as if they were the ones who started the insecurity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe insecurity being faced in the country since 2009 was the creation of the political class. With a strong political will, it can be surmounted.\u201d<\/p>\n
