A top Northern Elders Forum (NEF) leader,
Professor Usman Yusuf, has accused President Bola Tinubu of being interested in Nigeria’s money.

Yusuf said this has shown in his words, deeds and body language, that the president is not interested in security.

The top NEF leader spoke on AriseTV on Tuesday, December 6.

According to him, “Our president and commander in chief, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, from his words, deeds, and body language, is not interested in security,” Yusuf said, adding they: “All he’s interested in is the economy, where the money is, and he’s planted his people. Security, banditry, and others appear irritant to him.

“We don’t see the president hands-on with our security. Our military is not supervised by civilian authority; they’ve gone rogue, dropping bombs on our people, and they’re not answerable to anybody. In the United States, where we copied the presidential system, the military is subordinate to civilian authority.”

The northern elder questioned the role of the minister of defence, claiming that the president has outsourced the security of the country to the military.

He also called for an inquiry into the bomb attack in Kaduna, saying the military cannot investigate itself.

“Whatever the president is planning to do, the military cannot investigate itself. We’ve had several incidences, and there have been no outcomes.

“There should be an independent judicial panel headed by a retired CJN, a former defence chief, traditional leaders, and religious leaders who are interested in protecting the people,” he said.
