Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday said Nigerians must begin to ask the necessary questions to be able to deal with the Boko Haram menace, which he said had become a monster.
While decrying the lingering insurgency in the country, he said that the Boko Haram insurgency was virtually part of the lives of Nigerians.
Obasanjo spoke at the unveiling of the book, ‘Scars: Nigeria’s Journey and the Boko Haram Conundrum,’ authored by a former Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Lucky Irabor, in Abuja.
“I think we have to ask ourselves the necessary questions to be able to deal with this thing that is now becoming a monster within our country,” the former president, who wrote the foreword for the book, said.
He, therefore, called for more critical discussions to proffer solutions to the Boko Haram menace in Nigeria.
