Former media aide to the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, on Saturday said former President Goodluck Jonathan should not be blamed entirely for Boko Haram’s activities while he was in office.

Ahmad said securing Nigeria requires the active participation of the government and community.

Posting on X, the former presidential aide said leaders, communities, traditional institutions, and religious leaders have a role to play in securing Nigeria.

He wrote: “Even at the height of the Boko Haram insurgency, I did not place the blame entirely on the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan because I have long believed that the responsibility of securing our communities does not rest on the shoulders of government alone.

“Security is a shared responsibility that requires the active participation and commitment of every citizen.

“Governments provide leadership and resources, but communities, traditional institutions, religious leaders and individuals all have vital roles to play.”

Ahmad urged Nigerians to provide credible intelligence to security agencies and refuse criminals a safe haven.

“We must support our security agencies with credible information and refuse to provide safe havens for criminals.

“Only through a united effort and a shared sense of responsibility, can we restore lasting peace and ensure a safer future for our communities and our nation,” he added.
