Former Nigeria president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has claimed that the founders of Boko Haram told him that poverty and unemployment drove them into insurgency.
Obasanjo also warned that the 20 million out-of-school children in the country were a breeding ground for more “Boko Haram members of the future”.
He stated these while speaking at the launch of a book titled, ‘Pillars of Statecraft: Nation-building in a changing world’ written by his daughter, Dr Kofo Obasanjo-Blackshire, in Lagos.
