Buhari has at separate times accused external forces for terrorism in Nigeria. PANDEF said if Buhari was still blaming external terror groups for the insurgency in the northeast, then his competence as commander-in-chief deserved scrutiny. He blamed the murderous nature of Boko Haram on the way security agencies treated the early phase of the conflict. Also, apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, yesterday accused the Federal Government of being economical with the truth about insurgency and terrorism in the country. It accused Buhari of always blaming outsiders to confuse the international community and attract sympathy over the failures of his government.
