Nasir el-Rufai says President Tinubu is the worst Nigerian President in terms of security. Yet, the same man, who leaves Nigerians SHORT of words said Buhari was better. Please fact-check me. Under Buhari:

Five hundred terrorists in motorcycles invaded Kuje prisons and freed 900 of their colleagues on Wednesday, July 6, 2022.

Bandits invaded the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna and killed soldiers on Tuesday, August 24, 2021.

Terrorists overran Kaduna International Airport on March 26, 2022.

The 157 Task Force Battalion in Metele was invaded and destroyed by Boko Haram, and over 80 soldiers were slaughtered while their equipment was seized on Saturday, November 24, 2018.

A total of over 600 schoolchildren were abdicated under Buhari with many killed, including the February 19, 2018, Dapchi School Girls abduction in Yobe State, December 11, 2020, Kankara Boys, Katsina State, February 17, 2021 abduction of another 41 schoolchildren in Kagara, Niger State, February 26, 2021, 317 Female students abduct9 in Zamfara State, March 11, 2021, College of Forestry, Afaka abduction of 39 students in Kaduna State, April 20, 2021, Greenfield University Kidnap, May 30, 2021, Niger State Muslim school abductio.

On Monday, March 28, 2022, an Abuja-Kaduna train was bombed by terrorists, and many Nigerians were killed. At the same time, about a hundred were abducted, and some are still with the terrorists today.

On Tuesday, May 2, 2019, bandits abducted Buhari’s in-law.

On Sunday, November 20, 2016, bandits kidnapped Nigeria’s former minister of foreign affairs, Bagudu Hirse, in Kaduna.

Nothing as serious as these has occurred under President Bola Tinubu. We have improved in the Global Terror Index. The country is more secure today, such that as you read this, road construction is ongoing in 74 roads across 24 states of the federation, including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, Sokoto-Badagry Expressway, Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Road, and Abuja-Lokpja-Benin Road.

Also ongoing are the East-West Road, even as the Federal Government has commenced the construction of Phase 2B of the access road to the Second Niger Bridge. Then, the Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe Road is being reconstructed.

And the reason various large scale infrastructure projects are ongoing peacefully in Northern Nigeria is because the most notorious bandits and Boko Haram terrorists have been killed under the Tinubu administration.

Whereas not one bandit leader was killed under Buhari, the following have been neutralised since 2023:

1. Kachalla Ali Kawaje
2. Kachalla Halilu Sububu
3. Kachalla Damina
4. Kachalla Dangote
5. Kachalla Jafaru
6. Kachalla Barume
7. Kachalla Shehu
8. Tsoho
9. Kachalla Yellow Mai Buhu
10. Yellow Sirajo
11. Kachalla Dan Muhammadu
12. Kachalla Makasko
13. Yellow Hassan
14. Boderi
15. Kachalla Dan Ba Birki
16. Auta Dan Mai Jan Kai

In Borno, these Boko Haram ring leaders were killed during the last Ramadan:

1. Munzir Arika
2. Sani Dilla (a.k.a Dan Hausawan Jubillaram)
3. Ameer Modu
4. Dan Fulani Fari Fari
5. and Bakoura Arina Chiki

So, Nigerians, I ask you: Who will you believe, the facts or Nasir el-Rufai?
