(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The news that the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu accusing the regime of President Buhari has sparked social media reactions.
The African Examiner writes that Ribadu during the Chief of Defence Intelligence Annual Conference 2023, with the theme: “Leveraging Defence Diplomacy, and Effective Regional Collaboration for Enhanced National Security”, stated that the financial difficulties caused by past administration won’t affect budgetary allocations, as everything would be done to enhance robust and viable defence management and apparatus in the country.

He said: “I assure you that the Federal Government will not rest on its laurels in ensuring a robust and viable defence management and security apparatus to address contemporary challenges even in the face of enormous budgetary constraints.

“Yes, we’re facing budgetary constraints. It is okay for me to tell you. Fine, it is important for you to know that we inherited a difficult situation, literally a bankrupt country, no money, to a point where we can say that all the money we’re getting now, we’re paying back what was taken. It is serious!

“But this administration is doing its best to meet our requirements, particularly the armed forces, and I believe that you leaders will be able to testify to that.”

This development has sparked uproar on social media; The African Examiner gathers some of the thoughts of netizens as seen on Twitter.

My People, ready your popcorns. Today is APC Sai Baba Vs APC Bulaba. Let the more vawulent camp win.”
