APC leaders invited bandits to oust Jonathan - ex-editor

Former newspaper editor Tola Adeniyi claims APC leaders publicly admitted inviting bandits into Nigeria to remove former president Goodluck Jonathan. Adeniyi made the revelation during a podcast interview, stating that APC officials told Nigerians they brought bandits into the country. He further alleged that when bandits needed women, APC leaders facilitated the Chibok kidnapping of 360 schoolgirls, claiming such an event required government involvement. The former editor also referenced past statements from late Head of State General Sani Abacha that when insurgency lasts more than a week, government has a hand in it. These serious allegations connect ruling party leaders to criminal elements and one of Nigeria's most notorious security incidents. Do these claims change how you view the relationship between political power and security challenges in Nigeria?
