Buhari Would Lead The Nigerian Military To Fight Boko Haram – Osinbajo

Capture

VP candidate of the APC, Prof Yemi Osinbajo says if elected into government, Buhari would lead the Nigerian military in the fight against members of Boko Haram. Speaking at a town hall meeting organized by the Act Now Professionals in Abuja yesterday Jan 26th, Prof Osinbajo said the fight against Boko Haram can not be won by leading from the rear…

“The first priority is security and to question what has gone wrong in the military. Then, funding the military adequately and ensuring that the Commander-In-Chief leads from the front. But when he was Commander-In-Chief, Buhari led from the front as a soldier. You cannot lead from the rear. You cannot fail to go to where the insurgency is taking place and that is what Buhari has been saying.

“I think that the major problem with the question of security is again that it was not prioritised by this government. It was not taken seriously enough from the beginning. When you have a situation, you do not politicise the insurgency like that. You do not point to the opposition and say it is the opposition that is sponsoring it until General Buhari almost lost his life when Boko Haram attacked him. We must start by understanding that there is a war going on in that part of the country and what the government need to do is to get the nation behind it, not pointing accusing fingers at wrong places. We need to look at the whole question of funding and equipping the military. The military at the moment is not equipped. I worked with Femi Falana on the mutiny of some solders and what is the complaint of those soldiers who were charged with mutiny? Their complaint is that they were not given equipment and they wanted them to go to battle. So, how do you say that? How does anybody think that you can fight the insurgents without ammunition?” he said

  1. Mr. Pastor, Buhari & the APC wahala are only using you Sir. You should learn from Past. Tunde Bakare. He was used and dumped! What fixation has Buhari with Pastors? Does he endear them in search of salvation or only uses them as a means to an end? Hope you would still be in the faith when this extremist is done!
    Have you ever asked yourself why this man is rarely trusted amongst the Christian communities down the north central states?
    I doubt if you would read this but just remember that if you loose, its because a majority of the people across the nation DONOT TRUST THIS MAN CALLED BUHARI. The Legendary Afrobeat Master rightly called him “animal in human skin”-ever wonder WHY?
