Former Abia state Governor, Orji Kalu has alleged that political elites are aiding Boko haram to destroy the president’s administration. The senator representing Abia North disclose on Monday that the resurgence of the terrorists is orchestrated by power-driven individuals.
Kalu claimed that the power-hungry individuals are using terrorism as a tool to destabilize Tinubu, just like past administrations. According to him, politicians, wealthy business people and top civil servants are the ones backing up the terrorist groups.
He adds that some individuals do it for the ability to control the system and not for financial gain. The former governor describe the insecurity facing the country as an intentional plan by powerful figures in the country.
