Olusegun Obasanjo has suggested that former President Goodluck Jonathan did not take the Boko Haram sect seriously.
The former president said that he briefed Jonathan on the grievances of the terror group.
Obasanjo said “I went out in 2011 to Maiduguri. I took great risk to find out what is really happening about Boko Haram, do they have grievances, if they have grievances, what are their grievances and I brought all that to Jonathan.
“Jonathan didn’t believe that Boko Haram was a serious issue. He thought that it was a device by the North to prevent him from continuing as president of Nigeria which was rather unfortunate.
“Boko Haram will not be over; it started from a position of gross under-development, unemployment, youth frustration in the north-east. So we must be treating the disease not the symptom.”
