The Presidency has blamed the latest kidnappings in the North on political forces in the northern region plotting to destabilize the country under President Bola Tinubu’s watch.
Presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale disclosed this in an interview session
Asked how soon Mr Tinubu’s government will curtail the resurgence of mass schoolchildren abductions witnessed in Kaduna and Sokoto last week, Mr. Ngelale said much work had gone into securing the country, resulting in relative stability in the South-East.
“Where we still have some challenges is in the North-Central, North-West and to a large extent in the North-East. There is still a lot of work to be done,” Mr Ngelale said.
He added, “I will say this: across the North, we understand that some of the sub-regional geopolitical forces that are currently at play are actively conspiring against the stability of the Nigerian nation.”
