Datti Baba-Ahmed, a former vice presidential candidate for the Labour Party, has charged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is putting political gains ahead of addressing Nigeria’s escalating security issues.

Baba-Ahmed claimed on Channels Television that the administration is more concerned with luring political defectors than with safeguarding its citizens.

“They are buying politicians who are jumping ship to join APC and giving themselves the false impression that they are doing well,” he said.

He cautioned that the security situation in the nation is gradually getting worse.

“There will be no security, and it will continue to fail. They’re getting closer and closer to Abuja, this insecurity we’re talking about.”

Baba-Ahmed also chastised the federal authorities for their lack of awareness of local reality.

“So long as the president, the so-called president is aloof with the realities on the ground and has a so-called vice president who has been reduced to just going for wedding ceremonies, burial ceremonies in the situation that Nigeria is,” he said.

“It is easier for the federal government of Nigeria now to send a whole vice president to go for condolence visits and wedding ceremonies than when 200 people are killed in the villages in Katsina,” Baba-Ahmed said.
