Boko Haram: What Did You Do With Your Seven Years In Power – Aisha Yesufu Blasts Ahmad Lawan

Popular Nigerian activist and social critic, Aisha Yesufu has berated the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, for claiming that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ignored the Boko Haram insurgency during its 16 years in power.

Naija News recalls that Lawan, while addressing the Presidential Campaign Rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held in Damaturu Yobe State, alleged that PDP allowed Boko Haram to fester.

He said, “When Boko Haram started in the northeast, in Borno state, the then leadership of PDP said it was not true. There was nothing like Boko Haram, and Boko Haram blossomed. Boko Haram flourished, and Boko Haram gained ground and took root.”

Tackling the APC, the ‘Bring back our girls pioneer’ argued that the ruling party had over seven years to tackle the insurgency but instead worsened it.

Speaking via her verified Twitter handle on Wednesday, the activist insisted that the Senate President had turned the National Assembly into a rubber stamp assembly.

She wrote, “The Senate President who turned the National Assembly into a rubber stamp Assembly is accusing PDP when his own party has had over seven years to tackle the insurgency and have worsened it. Both APC and PDP are failed parties that should not be allowed into the corridors of power.”
