The Federal Government has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of enabling the early spread of terrorism in Nigeria by failing to confront extremist groups during his administration.
Sunday Dare, spokesperson to President Bola Tinubu, in a lengthy post on X, criticised Obasanjo and some perennial presidential aspirants for claiming the current administration is unable to protect Nigerians.
“It is historical fact that the ideological foundations and early cells of Boko Haram were incubated during Obasanjo’s civilian presidency. While they recruited, indoctrinated, built camps, and flaunted authority, the state failed to act decisively.
