Past immediate Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro has said there wouldn’t have been boko haram insurgents in the Northern part of the country if only Northern leaders had invested in education and got Northerners educated.
Obanikoro made this statement at the inauguration of a civic centre built by a member of the House of Representatives, Abiodun Akinlade, at the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State.
“We have Boko Haram today because the leaders of that section of the country did not invest in their education.
“President Goodluck Jonathan is already addressing this by constructing 123 almajiri schools in four years.”
He also noted that there was relative peace in South-West because late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, invested in the education of his people.
