Buhari: South African Mercenaries are Responsible

for Crushing Boko Haram, Not Nigerian Army

President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari expressed

disappointment over the failure of the Nigerian

army to crush boko haram terrorists.

Speaking while receiving a delegation of Arewa

Consultative Forum (ACF), THE NATION quoted

the president elect saying, ''The Nigerian military

has never been so incapacitated like now; It is a

shame that the military cannot secure 14 local

government councils out of the 774 local

governments in the country.

''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 the insecurity in

the bud. The Nigeria Army could not do small

things; they have to bring in South African

mercenaries to enable them record the recent

gains in the Northeast.

''I don’t know how many of you know this; I got

to know about it few days ago – that the recent

gain in the Northeast was because South African

mercenaries were used.”
