Boko Haram: Buhari slams military for using South African mercenaries on may 18, 2015 at 9:03

KADUNA – The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari Monday expressed disappointment with the handling of the war against insurgents in the North East, wondering why the military could not secure 14 out of the 774 local government councils in the country without the assistance of “South African mercenaries.”

According to Buhari, Nigeria soldiers did not need to wait for South Africans before confronting the Boko Haram insurgents and going ahead to win the war against the terrorists in parts of the North East.

He spoke in Kaduna while playing host to the National Executive Council of the Arewa Consultative Forum,  ACF.

His words, “The military has never been so incapacitated like now. It is a shame that the Military cannot secure 14 out of the 774 local governments in the country.

“What is more worrisome is the fact that Nigeria’s Military has to rely on South African machineries before it could gain recent success in the war against Boko Haram. This situation is  shameful and unacceptable.

“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 insecurity in the bud.”
