Governor BEN AYADE of Cross River State has called for international partnerships to tackle the rising levels of insecurity in Nigeria, maintaining that the situation is beyond President MUHAMMADU BUHARI. 

The governor said this today, explaining that insecurity is not peculiar to the country.

The governor explained that terrorist groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP now have international links which means their influence spreads beyond Nigeria.

He said, “ISWAP has so much capacity today” just like Boko Haram with both targeting Nigeria’s mineral resources.

According to him, the security condition could have been worse but President BUHARI who met challenging situations; he has been able to tackle them.

Nigerians, he argued, should therefore not judge president BUHARI based on “isolated incidents”.
