Nigeria’s President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, has decried the inability of the military to crush the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-east, declaring that it is shameful and unacceptable.
Speaking when the National Executive Council of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) paid him a courtesy visit in his Kaduna residence yesterday, Buhari said it is a shame that the military could not secure 14 out of the 774 local governments in the country.
Buhari’s declaration not withstanding, the Chief of Defence Intelligence (CDI), Rear Admiral Gabriel Okoi, believes that with proactive intelligence gathering, the war against terrorism will be won much faster.
This is just as Sabongari, a community in Adamawa State was attacked weekend, by the Boko Haram insurgents leading to the killing one man and the abduction of six women.
Buhari also condemned the recent attack on Maiduguri and the takeover of Marte town by the Boko Haram insurgents, saying that the lives and property of Nigerians must be protected by the military.
According to him, “The military has never been so incapacitated like now. It’s a shame that the military cannot secure 14 Nigeria’s local governments out of the 774 local governments in the country.”
Buhari stressed further that what is more worrisome is the fact that Nigeria’s military had to rely on South African mercenaries before achieving the recent success in the war against Boko Haram.
He restated that his administration would focus on three major areas — insecurity, the economy and job creation — as well as tackling the endemic corruption that has eaten deep into the fabric of the nation.
“My administration will concentrate on three major areas on assumption of office, that is insecurity, the economy/unemployment and corruption. We will ensure we nip the insecurity in bud.
“The Nigeria Army have to bring in South African mercenaries to enable them record the recent gains in the North-east,” said Buhari.
