Boko Haram: Jonathan Was Unserious - Osinbajo by yGist: 8:46pm On Nov 02, 2016
Vice-President Osinbajo unravelled the mystery behind the victories of Boko Haram during Jonathan's government when he delivered a lecture at the Harvard University’s Weatherland Centre for International Affairs, United States titled: “The unravelling of Boko Haram and the rebuilding of the North-East of Nigeria”.

In his speech, Osinbajo said that, PDP found it convenient to claim that Boko Haram sect was sponsored by a northern-Muslim political elite so as to successfully discredit the government led by a Christian. He said this was done so as to weaken the only viable opposition (APC) as at then by giving it the outlook of the political wing of the Boko Haram sect. He said that many Nigerians believed the propaganda until President Buhari narrowly escaped death during an attack by the same sect in Kaduna.

Osinbanjo also believes that Jonathan and his cronies cynically seemed to have considered Boko Haram as a way of weakening the opposition since their attacks were more rampant in states where the opposition had strong base. That this also led to the extensive corruption in arms procurement estimated at about $15bn so that the military can be poorly equipped and demoralised.

He also said that the abduction of more than 200 secondary schoolgirls in Chibok were also as a result of Jonathan's inept handling of the insurgency and it took public outrage for Jonathan's attention to be fully drawn to it. But Buhari declared during the Presidential Election that he would defeat Boko Haram and restore peace to affected states. And within six months of Buhari’s Presidency, the sect had been dislodged from all the local governments they conquered and had retreated into Sambisa Forest and other northern border towns and villages.

Was Jonathan truly not committed?
