Boko Haram: You turned NASS to rubber stamp assembly – Aisha Yesufu slams Lawan
Aisha Yesufu, a well-known Nigerian activist and social critic, has criticized Senate President Ahmad Lawan for claiming that the PDP allowed the Boko Haram insurgency to fester during its 16 years in power.
The All Progressives Congress, or APC, had over seven years to address the insurgency, but instead made it worse, according to the social critic.

“The then-leadership of PDP said it was not true when Boko Haram started in the northeast, in Borno state,” he claimed. Nothing like Boko Haram existed, and Boko Haram grew. Boko Haram prospered, grew stronger, and established itself.
However, in response to the Senate President’s accusation, Yesufu claimed that Lawan had turned the National Assembly into “a rubber stamp Assembly.”
The Senate President, who turned the National Assembly into a rubber stamp assembly, accused the PDP in her letter, but his own party had more than seven years to address the insurgency and had made matters worse. Both the APC and the PDP are failed political parties that ought to be excluded from positions of authority.
