Boko Haram was created by the government to destabilise Nigeria – Balarabe Musa

 

A Second Republic Governor of Kaduna State, Balarabe Musa, has stated that terror sect, Boko Haram, isn’t a religious problem but a political problem. According to him, the government created Boko Haram to destabilise Nigeria, divert people’s attention away from its (government) failure and distract citizens ahead of the 2015 elections. He said this while speaking during an interview. “Some of us believe that Boko Haram is not a religious problem. It is more of a political problem. Boko Haram is a problem created by the government deliberately to destabilise Nigeria and divert the attention of the people from the failures of the government. “With Nigeria destabilised, starting from the North, when the 2015 elections come, the level of insecurity will be so much that Nigerians will not be concerned with the elections. Instead, they’ll be concerned primarily with peace. That will make election rigging easy,” Musa said. He however urged voters to stop selling their selling their votes for money. “It is (lack of) money that undermines the freedom of the people to choose the right person. They can shun the money used for elections and politics, generally; it is not impossible, in spite of the poverty in the country and the manipulations by the elite,” he said.
