General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd), presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress has said that Boko Haram insurgency is a big disgrace for Nigeria and if elected, the main objective of his administration will be to secure the country.
Buhari said this in an interview published on Reuters on Friday.
He said “It’s a big disgrace for Nigeria. It is now Cameroon and Chad fighting the insurgency more than Nigeria. We will build the capacity and Nigeria should be able to secure its territorial integrity
“Our main objective is to secure the country. We will not tolerate insurgency, sabotage of the economy by blowing up of installations, by stealing crude and so on. All these things will be things of the past.”
On the coming elections, he said “I’m optimistic that I won’t lose. But we signed an undertaking that it will be violence – free. We are attempting to stabilise a multi – party democratic system.
“There will be no delay. But if INEC is compromised then it will be too bad.”
