Former Vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has alleged that insecurity is part of the All Progressives Congress, APC's, way of getting and staying in power.
Datti made the allegation on Tuesday while fielding questions on Channels TV's Politics Today programme.
His comment came in the wake of former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai's allegation that the Nigerian government is paying bandits.
Datti said: "Now what I'm about to say, and my arguments are that insecurity is part of APC. Insecurity has been APC's way of getting power. Insecurity has been part of APC way of staying in power. That is my candid, firm opinion that is being strengthened by the kind of unfortunate comments like that of Nasir El-Rufai.
"Do you remember that a former Nigerian president was attacked by terrorists? Unprecedented. Never in the history of Nigeria did that happen.
"Do you also remember that I made a passing statement on that in 2022 which, as usual, people didn't take seriously.
"Why did some young men in the forest in the North East..., what business do they have...? When Nigerian leaders leave they are liked, they are loved, they are forgiven all their errors and everything.
"This one they followed and tried to kill him. Why did that happen? What happened in all the donations leading up to 2015?
"Why decide to come back and run in 2015 after crying and telling the whole world you are no longer running?
"What was the link with North Africa? What was the link with Muammar Gaddafi?"
