Former Army General and federal commissioner for information and culture Ibrahim Bata Malgwi Haruna, has said President Muhammadu Buhari has not run out of ideas in the fight against insecurity in the country.
Haruna, who spoke in an interview with The Morning Show on Arise News said Buhari is not just Chief Executive of a private sector but a president of over 200 million Nigerians.
The retired General, who noted that the president is not running the Nigerian state on his own ideas and merit, stated that he (Buhari) is running Nigeria on the basis of the mandate given to him by the electorate since 2015.

“He runs the state in accordance with the constitution, in accordance with the law and he distributes orders in accordance with the provisions of the laws and the constitution of Nigeria, not in accordance of decree where the Council of the Military as the President and Commander in Chief will stand paramount like a chief of his Kingdom,” he said.
The former general said the media cannot be educating the Nigerian people that their president or the system is a failure.
“You (referring to Arise TV anchor) don’t see any good in the Nigerian state and we are winning gold in the Commonwealth Games? Let us have faith in our country. Do you think if there was war or anarchy you would be in this state of affairs?” he said.
