90% security votes spent on APC controlled states – Maku‎

It has been revealed 90 per cent of the nation’s security votes were spent on the troubled North-eastern states controlled by the All Progressive Congress (APC).

According to the Minister of Information Labaran Maku,  if not for the security chalkenges and money spent fighting insurgency in the North-east, the country would have witnessed a growth rate of up to 10 percent of the GDP.

He stated that it was clear the federal government  did not create the insurgency nor the structure that led to them and that those behind it were known to all, expressing sadness that Nigerians were now blaming the fire fighter (the federal government) for the fire than those who ignited it.
‎
“Today, the federal government is spending huge chunk of its resources in maintaining security especially in the north east, yet they constitute over 90 percent of those protesting against the federal government.

“Look at the entire money we are spending is to maintain security in states controlled by the APC. So why do you come back and start playing politics? We are busy spending money to maintain security in those states, what have they done about it? Because 90 percent of all insurgency is in states controlled by that party, 90 per cent of those campaigning to bring back Chibok girls are also members of  that same party”, he said.

    All this crisis laden state are results of PDPs negligence and corruption. Most of these state governors deflected to APC so as to identify with nation builders. You can always tell your story to others who will not carryout proper reserch. Borno Ex ANPP, Adamawa Ex PDP Nassarawa Ex PDP, Yobe Ex ANPP. The BOKo Haram Crisis started in the face of PDP Governors and President. Negligence and Corruption on PDPs side has made it what it is today. Stop Pointing Fingers We have the record

      So of what effect in their defection??? Has APC even realized that it their controlled states that is burning 90% of funds meant for all of Nigeria???

      Can it not be argued now that they defected because their former party was not at home with their poor performance and Boko Haram tendencies???! Even on the face of it and your analysis here, out of the three, only one is ex-PDP! How then can your “theory” hold any water?!

      Have you even noticed that it was after the states became APC-controlled that Boko Haram went gaga and gained an upper hand against Nigerian security forces???! If you have, why???
