President Muhammadu Buhari last night
described the misapplication of the arms
purchase cash as “an abuse of trust.”
He spoke at a dinner for the members of
the House of Representatives at the old
Banquet Hall of the State House in Abuja.
Former National Security Adviser (NSA)
Sambo Dasuki, along with other
individuals, are on trial for alleged
diversion of arms purchase cash.
The President expressed disappointment
that the necessary equipment and other
logistics, which the money was meant
for, were not supplied, thereby working
against defeating Boko Haram.
“Unfortunately for us as a people, we
uncovered that billions of Naira and
hundreds of millions of dollars were
expended by the previous government to
acquire good equipment and ammunition
so that the military can use, but
unfortunately, there was abuse of trust at
various levels that cost Nigeria a lot of
lives and goodwill.
“We cannot keep quiet about it and facts
are coming out gradually. It is very
unfortunate. It is a known fact that
Nigeria earned its respect from Burma to
Zaire to Liberia to Sierra Leone. But it
reached a stage where the Nigerian
military could not secure 14 local
governments out of the 774 local
governments.
“As I have always said, how has the
mighty fallen? We are doing our best and
I hope our best will be good enough,”
Buhari said.
He sought the support and understanding
of members of the House of
Representatives to secure the nation,
noting that the obvious problem facing
the nation is the Boko Haram issue.
He described Nigeria as the main
battleground of the Boko Haram
terrorism.
He added that his administration inherited
some good intentions o including the
plan for the Multi-national Joint Task
Force (MJTF) to tackle Boko Haram in
the region.
He urged the lawmakers to be very clear
about the objective of securing the nation
as they are all in government.
“I will like to seek your understanding and
support to secure the country.” He said
Speaker Yakubu Dogara pledged the
support of the lawmakers to the
President.
He said: “I believe if we don’t get it right
under you, those of us in this generation
should forget about getting it right.
“We believe we have to lay the foundation
that will deliver the lasting legacy to the
people.”

this quote alone is a big slap on GEJ aka le Shoeless.

He was careless with our security just as he was careless with his shoes.

The Nigeria military that is respected every where could now no longer protect it own territory because a careless man was in charge.

Good a thing we voted him out.

How does this quote and always reminding us that PDP stole solve the problem? When are we going to get over this blaming PDP and work.. It's not as if they are letting the thieves go free, they are investigating them with intention to try and jailed them. So why dance over a quote. Nigerians knew PDP had ruined Nigeria hence they voted them out. He doesn't need to keep reminding us. Instead of you to ask wt this govt is doing to fix PDP mess, you are dancing over a quote

ok

God bless Nigeria.

Any judge that will grant "perpetual stay of execution" against EFCC regarding these thieves that siphoned money eh, Amadioha and Sango will combine thunder to fire him or her

Soldiers and civilians died at the hands of Boko haram and their blood is on the hands of those PDP chieftains

Today is my birthday. There is a tradition here. So let's see how it goes!
