You're too slow - NEF Spokesperson, Hakeem baba-ahmed slams president buhari

 
The Spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari "is too slow."
 
Ahmed made the comment while appearing on an Arise Television program on Wednesday March 24, and further stated that banditry and kidnappings did not exist two, three years ago. 
 
The NEF spokesperson who averred that Nigerians are becoming more insecure everyday, noted that President Buhari keeps changing things "while we all see same result."
 
He said; 
 

“If I have an opportunity to speak with the president, I will say: ‘Sir, please wake up and smell the coffee, this country is falling apart."
“It is in very serious danger, it is going down under your watch. You swore in 2015 and again in 2019 that you will protect citizens, the territorial integrity of Nigeria. Sorry, sir, you are not doing that, doing it well or you are not doing it at all. And one of the things you should do is to call about 200 to 500 Nigerians, without any preconditions, and say: ‘ladies and gentlemen, I believe that this government will benefit from some quality advice in terms of the way forward.
“Two, take your governors more into confidence, speak to them. They are very important people. They have responsibilities under the constitution and they are able to carry out those responsibilities particularly on matters of security. What do you want? What can we do together? What can I do for you and what can we consider a legitimate idea or a crazy idea?
“Thirdly, please ask real questions about what is going on with the security in this country. Something is wrong. You keep changing things but we see the same result. We are becoming insecure by the day. Either it is your attitude as commander-in-chief of the armed forces or the people you trust to defend and protect us. There must be something about the security that you and the people who are fighting this country don’t understand.
“Why are we being so insecure? Why is it not possible for Nigerians to deal with banditry, kidnappings? These things two, three years ago do not exist. Is anybody asking these questions? Is it that you have disharmony in your security agencies?
