Shettima who represents Borno South senatorial district at the Senate while speaking with journalists on Thursday, February 13, said the reaction of some Borno citizens during the president's emergency visit on Wednesday, February 12, is unfortunate. He said the reaction by the resident might be from high expectations the individuals had for President Muhammadu Buhari. “People thought he (Buhari) has a magic wand. He does not have a wand. But I believe it’s temporary hiccups,” Shettima said. Recommended for you No old notes yet from CBN, banks begin ration of old notes, Supreme Court s... He further assured that the people of Borno have always loved the president and are ever in support of his administration and security strategies. Noting that it is unfair for Nigerians to demonise Buhari, the former governor said solutions to the escalating insecurity in Nigeria is more important than apportioning blame on the country’s leadership. "We cannot just demonise Buhari. Buhari did his best and we had a respite between 2015 and 2017 before resurgence (of Boko Haram attacks). How to find a solution to our challenges is more important than demonising anybody," Shettima added. PAY ATTENTION: Get the Latest Nigerian News 24/7. Spend less on the Internet!
