Senator Solomon Adeola representing Lagos West, Senatorial District on Friday lambasted the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu on his assertion that Boko Haram insurgency has been worsened under the administration of President Muhammdu Buhari.

Reacting to the deputy speaker,  Adeola who made his own remarks in a press statement released by his office accused Ekweremadu of playing politics with the handling of Boko Haram.

“ It is very worrisome that Senator Ekweremadu who has been a presiding officer of the Senate under the PDP administration since the inception of Boko Haram about 6 years ago will expect the insurgency that his party and PDP administration could not resolved to be eradicated by Buhari in six weeks.

I believe his comparison of recent attacks under Buhari with that of PDP administration is informed by partisan considerations of exonerating the PDP from the mess left behind after 16 years of PDP rule” He noted

Adeola added that it is regrettable that Ekweremadu could come to such conclusion without bearing in mind the thousands of lives lost, destruction of communities as well as the national agony of the yet to be resolved missing Chibok girls which were all occurred under the PDP administration

He furthered, “What should be paramount on the minds of all Nigerians now is how to end the insurgency permanently which is not going to be an overnight assignment.

I am certain that President Buhari and the security agencies are working out strategies to curtail the focus of Boko Haram attacks on “soft targets” in recent times and such attacks indicates Boko Haram is weakening in the battle field where they hitherto have territorial control.” He ended
