A coalition of Niger Delta
militants on Thursday accused President Muhammadu Buhari of double standards in
the handling of security issues in the country.
The militants are not happy
with the plan by the Federal Government to withdraw $1bn from the Excess Crude
Account to fight the Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East.
They said the plan
disregarded the peace accord signed with the people of the Niger Delta, in an
open letter to the President.
The IG of Police, Ibrahim
Idris has asked Nigerian students to partner with the Police Force in ending
crimes in the country.
He added that the Police
will help end criminal activities on campuses, however, information, where
gotten, will be useful.
The Emir of Kano, Mohammed
Sanusi II has asked Nigerian journalists to stop portraying the country in a
bad light so that investors do not use that to run away.
The Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari is planning to be the
sole candidate during the 2019 elections.
The PDP declared that the
plot by some of its members to form a parallel executive was being engineered
by the APC.
