Nigeria’s president-elect, Gen. Buhari has not relented on his promises to Nigerians, but instead reassured Nigerians he will crush Boko Haram, and it will only take two months. He said though the present administration had tried to fight it, the efforts they put in it was not enough, and that is why they have a upper hand then the government. He also said a major reason again was because they corrupted the military. Buhari said all of these in an interview conducted yesterday evening with Christiane Amanpour on CNN.

“We know how they started and where they are now and we will rapidly give attention to security in the country. And I believe we will effectively deal with them in two months when we get into office.” Continue below…

“We will need the cooperation of neighbouring countries such as Cameroon, Chad and Niger. There were efforts made by the President Goodluck Jonathan administration, but it was not good enough and it came rather late,” he said.

But where did the Jonathan administration go wrong? Buhari replied; “We expected the Federal Government four years ago to sit down with these countries and make sure they do not allow the terrorists free movement across borders, training facilities and movement of weapons.

“These were only done a few months ago and we have seen how Cameroon, Chad and Niger are fighting Boko Haram more than Nigeria is doing until recently. Really we have seen enough and we have enough law enforcement to face Boko Haram squarely.”

Buhari is confident that under his government, the Nigeria Army will perform differently. He also said the performance of the military was affected by corruption in the system.

“They will…if you recall, the Nigerian soldiers out of all ethical expectations were granting interviews to foreign journalists, saying they were being sent to fight terrorists without proper weapons

“And then the National Assembly attempted to conduct a hearing to find out how much money was approved for training and weapon in the last three years but that hearing was scuttled by the administration.”
