IS PMB THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE LEGALLY AND THE ILLEGALLY ARMED FORCES OF NIGERIA?

This question has been throbbing my mind for a while now, the agitation to find an answer to it grows everyday, it has now developed to an extent that it has given me sleepless nights for days, I fear if I don't get an answer to it, I might loose my mind or die hence my decision to bear out my mind perhaps Nigerians or president Buhari can help answer the. Question.
No doubt, president Buhari after being sworn in as the president of Nigeria on may 29 2015 became the commander in chief of the Nigerian legally armed forces but where the main question that troubles me lies is whether he is also the commander in chief of the illegally armed forces of Nigeria.
Any rational thinking Nigerian cannot resist the temptation of asking this question if he/ she has been objectively observing the security situation of our nation and following events as they have been unfolding for more than a decade ago.

This question is purely a result of an objective rumination on the verifiable fact on ground by a curious Nigerian.
If I told you I saw fire burning in the ocean, trust me I already have the ashes in my pocket.

On the first of Nov 2012, the Boko haram sect through their spokesman Abu Muhammad ibn abdulazeez shockingly listed General Muhammadu Buhari as one of their trusted possible representative in a cease fire negotiation with the federal government.
My questions
1. Can I be nominated to represent someone /group who's ideology I do not share or who's interest I do not know?
2.can someone I do not know neither have I met nominate me to represent him in a negotiation as crucial as that?

Also on national mirror of June 3 2013.
On the second of June 2013, thenationonlineng.net reported that "BUHARI FAULTS CLAMPDOWN ON BOKO HARAM MEMBERS"Other news channels reported Buhari to have said that. "AN ATTACK ON BOKO HARAM IS AN ATTACK ON NORTHERN NIGERIA" meaning Mr Buhari was clearly against any military action on Boko haram which could also be mean that Boko haram was serving northern interest and any attack on Boko haram was on attack on northern interest.
My questions
1. Does Nigerians think that the president's sentiments on Boko haram then has changed?
2. Is it right for a nationalist to think that a military clampdown on an armed sect whose activities has caused the death of more than 10,000 Nigerians and caused untold hardship to 2 million others was wrong under any guise?
3. Bearing any change of the president's mindset(which I greatly doubt) don't you think the president is playing a joker with the lives of the officers and men of the Nigerian legally armed forces engaged in the battle?
4. Couldn't GMB's opinion about Boko haram in 2013 have fuelled the massive enlistment of gullible northern youths into boko haram believing that the sect was serving northern interest?
2015 http://saharareporters.com/2015/11/28/buhari-boko-haram-has-killed-10000-displaced-millions-calls-assistance-commonwealth
28 Nov 2016, six months into Buhari's presidency, saharareporters.com reported president Buhari to have lamented that not less than 10 thousands Nigerians have lost their lives to boko haram and more than two million others languishing in IDP camps.
2016 https://punchng.com/800-bharam-members-surrender-dhq/
12 Aug 2016, news broke that a total of 800 boko haram members have surrendered after being captured by the officers and men of the legally armed Nigerian armed forces, the news also has it that they will be deradicalised, trained, empowered and be reintegrated into the society.
My questions
1.can they really be deradicalised?, we read in the news just last week of an ex-convict who committed the same crime that sent him to jail for ten years only a day after he regained his freedom.
2.Haven being responsible for the death of more than 10,000 Nigerians and are causing unto hardship to more than 2 millions others, are they not supposed to be charged to court to face the consequences of their actions?
3. Has any armed robber, kidnaper or any common criminal who has caused less death and less suffering on Nigerians been treated that way? Or are they enjoying this undue advantage perhaps because the president is their patron?
4. Doesn't rehabilitation and empowerment of terrorist with Nigerian tax payers money amount to an insult to the sensibilities of the struggling Nigerian law abiding tax payers? Particularly the ones who lost their families and loved ones to the insurgents?

Alleged payment of ransom to boko haram.
Although the federal government denied this but it can be argued to be true bearing the following facts
i Boko haram under Buhari suddenly changed their know style of being bitterly critical of government but resulted to demanding for ransom like common kidnappers.
II Boko haram are undoubtedly enjoying a better financial fortune under Buhari evidenced in their better appearance in new military camouflage behind painted walls and carefully designed environment, flaunting their new armored vehicles conveniently in their videos as opposed to what we used to see under previous regime.
iii Allocation of huge funds to fight the Boko haram the federal government has always described as a technically defeated enemy.
My questions
1. Could it be that the huge amount of money the federal government is a appropriating to fight Boko haram is being given to them to appease them or should I conclude that the federal government is embezzling the money since the battle is already technically won?
2. I haven't found on any record that any Boko haram member has been arrested, charged to court and convicted ever since Buhari became president except the ones that were arrested befor his regime ( I stand to be corrected on this)
2017/2018
The lackadaisical disposition of president Buhari to the issue of armed herds men,
the blind side of Buhari's eyes has been turned to the deadly and destructive activities of the armed Fulani herds men all over the country
my question
1. Can the same thing be said of the government's action against an un armed IPOB members, can we also say the same of most times unarmed or not as dangerously armed shite members, protesters and apologist?
My question is born out of my observation that the president seems to be controlling both sides of the armed forces of Nigeria and nothing more.

My country people abeg make una help me answer these questions make thinking no go kill me!
President Buhari and his boys, I feel I have the legal right to ask questions about things I don't understand and I feel its your duty to choose either to answer my question or to allow me to keep asking until I get a satisfactory answer. I expect you to pretend as a Democrat for once by not sending your dogs to be harassing me all about.
