President Muhammadu Buhari has been called out by a member of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Rochas Okorocha.

According to the former Imo State Governor, Buhari has failed Nigerians on his campaign promises.

Okorocha spoke on Wednesday, according to a report by Independent Nigeria.

According to him, despite mass expectations, Buhari has not been able to fulfil his campaign promises on insecurity.

He also pointed out that the Federal Government had been overwhelmed by the spate of insecurity in the country.

He cautioned Nigerians against allowing themselves to be used to profile one another along ethnic lines.

Okorocha, who is the Senator the tendency to wrongly prorepresenting Imo West, said file Nigerians based on the spate of insecurity in the land would send the wrong signals to armed groups ready to negotiate with the authorities.

Speaking in Abuja during a meeting with a group, Nigerians in Diaspora Association in South Africa, he said: “When Jonathan came to power, the issue of corruption became heightened and America took interest in the corruption in Nigeria and they needed somebody who had zero-tolerance for corruption.

“The issue of Boko Haram became very high (Chibok girls, if you remember), people forget history very soon.

“It was on that basis also that Jonathan lost election and Buhari became president for two reasons: (first) that Buhari was going to jail all the corrupt people in Nigeria, like he did when he was military head of state and (second) that he will stop Boko Haram – that was the situation back then.”

He added: “But today what is threatening the unity of Nigeria – polarization of the country."
