The CNG’s spokesman, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, said apart from the comatose economy, the erosion of legitimate authority to make collective decisions and the inability to provide public services were all indicators of a failed state.
Suleiman added that among the toxic mix that contributes to justify Nigeria’s failure as a state were poverty, corruption, ineffective governance, crime, violence, forced displacement and sectarian and ethnic conflict which are all apparent.
He said the level of instability and dire straits of Nigeria today are spilling across national borders, destabilizing neighboring countries and regions, while posing enormous challenges for international organizations and donors; which signifies failure.
The CNG spokesman said President Buhari and his men would need to do more than taunt victory in the face of failure with all the economic and political indicators based on demographic pressures.
Suleiman further said the Presidency lacked the political will to halt the spate of insecurity across the land.
