Borno State governor, Prof Babagana Zulun, has accused security officials of frustrating the battle against jihadist Islamic group, Boko Haram.
Zulum said President Muhammadu Buhari needed to know sabotage within the system was frustrating work to end the insurgency.
Zulum was speaking bluntly days after his heavily armed convoy suddenly had to flee a town near Lake Chad because of sustained gunfire.
The army blamed Boko Haram.
The governor suggested soldiers were behind it and once again used the word sabotage.
Zulum also questioned why the Nigerian army was stopping thousands of displaced people from returning home to their fields whilst soldiers were instead cultivating the land.
Zulum is not the first person to essentially suggest that corruption within the military is prolonging the people’s suffering in north-east Nigeria.
