President Muhammadu Buhari has replied former President Olusegun Obasanjo who accused him of not doing enough to address the high level of insecurity in the country.
The former President in an open letter on Monday criticised President Buhari’s government, saying that the President needs to find immediate solution to the security crisis plaguing the country.
“To be explicit and without equivocation, Mr. President and General, I am deeply worried about four avoidable calamities,” he wrote.
“Violent uprising beginning from one section of the country and spreading quickly to other areas and leading to dismemberment of the country.”
“The issue I am addressing here is very serious; it is the issue of life and death for all of us and for our dear country, Nigeria. This issue can no longer be ignored, treated with nonchalance, swept under the carpet or treated with cuddling glove,” the ex President said in his letter.

But speaking with national executives of the Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) at Aso Rock on Tuesday, the president, who did not specifically mention Obasanjo’s name, said those criticising the “isolated cases” of insecurity in the country are not patriotic.
Buhari said every country in the world is facing one security challenge or the other, adding that banditry and kidnapping happen across the world.
