The Nigeria Diaspora Community for Peace (NDCP) said it arrived at this conclusion after direct interface and interaction with community members through delegated visits to affected areas and political leaders. The president of the group, Elisha Longpet, in a statement issued from Scotland, said the group discovered that politicians return to their roots only during campaigns and disappear as soon they are elected.

The statement added that Boko Haram, bandits and other criminal elements would then capitalise to recruit desperate youths abandoned by the politicians. "Terrorism has persisted because of the inability of politicians in Borno to fulfil their promises to the youths," Longpet said. He said that the group also discovered that Nigerian politicians usually travel to their constituencies and make promises to the youths, but immediately they win their elections, they switch off their phones and make themselves inaccessible to the youths. He said the politicians usually promise the youths jobs in choice government agencies, capital to start businesses, cars, motorcycles and even cash without plans to fulfil their promises. Calling for a bridge in communication lines, Longpet said communities must be encouraged to have first-hand untraceable reports to the security agencies. He also said that security agencies should be encouraged to maintain a presence at the fishing routes to avoid syndicate collaboration with the insurgents and smuggling.
