STATE AFFAIRS 15 AUGUST 2020

Assessing the state of security in Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari posits:

“Nigerians know that we have done our best. However, what is coming out of the North West and the North Central is very disturbing.”

They told us that one of the northern governors is the commander of Boko Haram in Nigeria. Boko Haram and the bandits are one and the same. They have a sophisticated network. During this lockdown their planes were moving up and down as if there was no lockdown. They were moving

ammunition, moving money, and distributing them across different parts of the country.”

— Dr. Obadia Mailafia, former Deputy Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria

It is expected that he [Mailafia] should be conversant with official information management protocols. But regrettably

he chose to cross the lines of decorum and conduct expected of a personality of his status. It is disappointing that he never took advantage of these to reach any of the security or related agencies to share the so called information at his disposal.

— DSS

I want to use this opportunity to say that the international community can help us better than they are doing right now.
To fight terrorists we need platforms and weapons.... For more than two to three years now, we have paid for certain vital weapons that they have not

released to us and they even refused to give us spare parts.

— Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture
