The Former President Speaking at a symposium on Security, Governance and Leadership, said governance and security go hand-in-hand and as such the welfare and well-being of the people rest solely on the government.
Obasanjo said: “The insecurity in Nigeria today is as result of misappropriation and high percentage of national resources that was used for the procurement of military hardware and maintenance of large military forces in the hope of promoting physical security at the expense of quality of living for the citizens”.
