All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) has said that if the federal government deploys the number of soldiers they deploy during elections to combat Boko Haram, Boko Haram will be history by now.
Buhari said this at a meeting with stakeholders of Ogoni ethnic nationality at Saakpenwa, headquarters of Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State.
He said “I have made this comment before and the federal government refused to react to it; the number of soldiers, policemen and officers of the State Security Services they deploy during elections, if they had deployed them to Borno and Yobe States to fight Boko Haram sect, by now, would have been history.
“Boko Haram is not a religious group; Boko Haram is not an ethnic group; Boko Haram is a terrorist group. They attack people in schools, they attack people in churches, they attack people in mosques, they attack people in markets, and they shout ‘Allahu Akbah! No religion rejoices over the blood of innocent people.”
He also added that will complete all abandoned federal government projects if elected; he said “The decision of the federal government to abandon the Bodo-Bonny road project is a clear case of incompetence and social injustice. It amounts to neglect at the highest level. A lot is taking from Ogoniland and relatively, a little is brought back in return. I assure you that an APC-led federal government will fulfil all its promises in Ogoniland.”
