Boko Haram’s grievances

Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau  

 Many news outlets have reported former president Olusegun Obasanjo saying that Boko Haram has legitimate grievances.

 Really? After eight years in Aso Rock during which he took the baton of executive lawlessness to rarefied heights, while making absolutely no effort to rein in the excesses and sheer negligence of the northern governors of ALL parties? Obasanjo rather yielded to the bizarre notion of a third term gambit and channelled everything he had to cuddle and cultivate the northern governors and others towards achieving that ignoble end.
