According to Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) fostered Boko Haram into the monster it became by the time President Muhammadu Buhari took office in 2015.
Mohammed made the remark in reaction to a remark attributed to PDP presidential contender Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku previously stated that the federal government’s failure to crush the insurgency group perplexes him.

Responding to the 11th edition of Buhari’s administration’s scorecard series on Tuesday, Mohammed said Atiku should question the PDP why it enabled Boko Haram rebels to bomb the United Nations complex and police headquarters in Abuja.
“For six years until 2015, when our administration assumed office and inherited Boko Haram, the PDP more or less nurtured the insurgents to the monster they later became.
“Alhaji Atiku, who was then residing in Abuja before porting to his new abode in Dubai, should ask his party, the PDP, while it allowed Boko Haram to bomb the police headquarters, the UN complex, a shopping mall and motor parks in Abuja with so much ease,” Mohammed said.
