A chieftain of Arewa Consultative Forum and delegate in the ongoing National Conference, AVM Mukhtar Mohammed (rtd) has said the Boko Haram insurgency and other insecurity bedeviling the nation were created by those desperate to hold on to political power in the country at all cost. He stated this during a conference of the Arewa Research & Development Project held in Kaduna on Thursday. According to Mohammed, the Boko Haram problem lingered so long because those who are at the helms of affairs lacked political will to tackle and arrest the problem at inception and it has turn to “a monster which will consume even the creators themselves if care is not taken.” He also added it was time for the North to think upright and go back to the region they received from their founding fathers in order to salvage it from numerous problems of insecurity and poverty.
