Kano State governor, Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, yesterday said the offshore/ onshore dichotomy issue was responsible for the Boko Haram insurgency in the North.
Kwankwaso said the dichotomy also brought about a high level of poverty and hopelessness in the region, resulting in the insecurity currently being witnessed.
Kwankwaso’s declaration came even as the Kaduna State governor, Alhaji Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, rejected the controversial Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB, bill yesterday, saying it would further alienate other parts of the country economically.
