President Buhari has dismissed its assessment by the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) on insecurity in the country, describing the forum as a quasi-organisation that boasts of no credible membership, and its leader, Ango Abdullahi was akin to a General without troops.

The forum had on Sunday scored the All Progressives Congress led Federal Government low, saying the Buhari -led government appeared helpless in finding solutions to the nation’s security challenges as well as poverty in the country.

The forum addressed journalists at the end of the meeting convened by its chairman, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, where it alleged that ”poverty, particularly in the North and massive social security have worsened under Buhari’s administration.”
