Boko Haram/ISWAP: Group warns French envoy against undermining Nigeria’s efforts

The National Democratic Front has cautioned the French Ambassador to Nigeria, Jerome Pasquier, to quit making utterances capable of undermining Nigeria’s progress against terrorism.
The NDF gave this warning at a press conference on Saturday in Abuja in reaction to the French envoy’s recent comments that Nigeria isn’t doing enough in the war against insurgency.
In a statement signed by its Secretary-General, Dr. Abdulkadir Bolaji, the NDF berated France, telling it not to overstretch its liberty by consciously inciting Nigerians against the Federal Government.
Bolaji described Pasquier’s claims as an assault on the sensibilities of Nigerians, especially knowing the role played by the European nations in the crisis in the North East.
The NDF, therefore, demanded that “the French Ambassador to Nigeria should immediately withdraw the statements and apologise to the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Nigerian people for deriding their dilemma in the hands of terrorists.”
