I Spent More On Military Equipment Than Jonathan — Buhari by LRNZH(m): 4:06am On Jan 17, 2015 |
The Campaign team of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Candidate, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), yesterday, tackled President Goodluck Jonathan on his comments during his presidential campaign flag-off in Lagos that Buhari did not equip the military when he was head of state.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/01/spent-military-equipment-jonathan-buhari/ Edit: for those interested in the referenced journal journal, hit link for pdf --> https://www.google.com.ng/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=cfW5VIaBGYL1aOqUgqAO&url=http://www.journalsbank.com/jamr_2_2.pdf&ved=0CB8QFjAB&usg=AFQjCNEZfuJjXPT0Nf99DA_AQhTNBHE4tg&sig2=CK5L8Egje31E50veBisEog 11 Likes 2 Shares |

GEJ is not a good leader. He talks before he thinks most of the times. “When one carefully peruses the capital budgets of the DHQ and Army, most of the capital spending is going towards buildings, some ammunition and vehicle spares. This year, we are not buying any equipment for the armoured, artillery and other mechanisation needs of the Army – at least not anywhere in the budget". How can a president who has been facing insurgency problem since 2009/2010 think he can defeat it if modern hardware are not purchased? They chose to spend large chunk of security budget on buildings and military infrastructures where it is easy to be looted than purchasing needed hardware to tackle the insurgency perhaps with the hope that miracle will make it disappear; or just for some other political gains. The clueless president, without doing any findings, or just to score cheap political points was busy accusing those who ruled before him for the state of our military institution whereas those leaders performed better than him in providing military hardware which are what you need to defend the sovereignty and integrity of a nation. “Buhari/Idiagbon in 1984 also allocated 38.68 per cent and 61.32 per cent for capital milex and recurrent respectively. They spent approximately 16 months". It will be an unforgivable mistake for Nigerians if this man called GEJ is not kicked out with the February 14 election. 116 Likes 3 Shares |

What is this illiterate talking about again. We don't even need ammunition, we take the name of God or whatever beg you to issue out command for these illiterate fools to stop killing innocent life and destruction of already arid dead economy of the North Eastern states so that the fund for ammunition will be channeled to infrastructure and other important needs of Nigerians. 31 Likes 6 Shares |

hmmmmm...... It's funny hearing that a Buhari who fought the civil war. Who chased back Chadians who were encroaching into Nigeria. Who dealt with Maitatsine would not buy weapons for the army in which he held important commands (the only person to command 3 divisions of the NA). What then were his men using to fight? I believe we all know about Nigerian army operation in Liberia to halt the civil war? which equipments do you think they used? Also the Nigerian army operation in Sierra leone to halt civil war where our army single handedly ended that war? which equipments do you think they used? Even if Buhari, IBB, Abacha didn't buy weapons, what has PDP being doing for the past 16 years of it's rule? Was jonathan expecting the equipments bought in 1984 to still be the ones the army will use to fight in 2014? What has Jonathan being doing since he and Yar'adua got sworn in 8 years ago? what has Jonathan being doing since he became president 5 years ago? Jonathan is the one who needs to get his army what they need to be relevant today. there's a reason he's called C-IN-C. If he doesn't know, he should quit. Blaming a regime of 30 years ago for his lack of weapons today shows a man who has truly got no clue 49 Likes 6 Shares |

Buhari might not have bought ammunition while he was president. We've not gotten a credible source that he did. 34% Milex or whatever might have been embezzled, until Buhari himself refutes that allegation credibly I believe GEJ. If Buhari lies IBB is there, TY Danjuma and others that are still GEJ's friends will react. Today it is video of Buhari in armoured tank garage, tomorrow it's one useless website statistics. Buhari no buy 1 rifle for army.period 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Beats my imagination how people reason upside down! If our military had all the purported weapons as is being trumpeted about, how come the same opposition is complaining the Boko Haram is better equipped than the Nigerian Military? Boko Haram fights with IEDs, quad barreled Shilkas, Hilux mounted Anti Aircraft guns and AK47s. The APCs they use are our T-55s and others captured in raids. So where are the ones Buhari and co bought if the above scenario plays true? 15 Likes 1 Share |

This is how news is to be read, with fact and figure. I guess when GEJ was saying GMB didn't buy any arm he. Was in a state of bottle trying to make a point that will make Nigerians have sympathy for him. From the fig above u hv tried but we need more as such, let's try different hand. #GMB 14 Likes 1 Share |
