Presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari is appalled that neighbouring Chad and Cameroun are turning out to be more successful at the battle front against Boko Haram than Nigeria.

Nigeria’s poor performance,he says,is a disgrace.

“It’s a big disgrace for Nigeria. It is now Cameroon and Chad fighting the insurgency more than Nigeria. We will build the capacity and Nigeria should be able to secure its territorial integrity,” Buhari told Reuters.

Troops from neighbouring Chad, Niger and Cameroon, all much smaller and poorer than Nigeria, have been battling the terrorists who have seized territory in Borno State.

Niger Republic said yesterday its troops killed 109 Boko Haram fighters in an attempted attack on Bosso close to the border with Nigeria.

The attack was repelled.

Buhari said that he was committed to using the courts if there are irregularities in the voting, and would not call his followers into the streets.

“I’m optimistic that I won’t lose. But we signed an undertaking that it will be violence free,” Buhari said. “We are attempting to stabilise a multi party democratic system.”

Buhari’s party,APC, insists that this month’s elections should proceed as scheduled ,saying the only reason the pro-Jonathan camp is pushing for a delay is that it knows he will lose if voting goes ahead now.

“There will be no delay. But if INEC is compromised then it will be too bad,” said Buhari.

Buhari said his administration also intends to tackle corruption within the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp (NNPC) and plans to reopen an investigation into missing crude revenues of around $20 billion.

He would also tackle the theft of crude tapped from pipelines in the Niger River delta.

“Our main objective is to secure the country. We will not tolerate insurgency, sabotage of the economy by the blowing up of installations, by stealing crude and so on…. All these things will be things of the past.”

General Muhammadu Buhari: 2. "Having known how the Boko Haram developed, what I would have personally done differently would be to get the Presidents of Cameroun, Chad and Niger together to say, ‘look our borders are porous and that we are not able to effectively protect them and monitor movements of people in and out of our territory, but please make sure that you do not provide training facilities or allow people to be coming into the county.’ "

General Muhammadu Buhari: 7. "If you do not cultivate a good relationship with your neighbours, it will cost you so much in terms of security and the economy. So you have to cultivate a friendship with your neighbours and then it goes on to ECOWAS, Africa and the rest of the world. I think this is a viable policy option."

General Muhammadu Buhari: 9. "Then you discuss with your neighbours to make sure that weapons are not crossing the borders and that there are [no] training facilities for terrorists."

Is he complaining or celebrating?
Victory is victory, it doesn't matter how it comes.

I think a sane person should be happy that victory is in view over those beasts instead of trying to dramatize the killings of dear citizens of this country.

Those who live in glass house should not throw stones.

K

Because bokoharam defeat is now in sight.

Shame on Buhari!!!

Shame on all supporters of evil and strife in Nigeria for political and personal gains. The God we serve will visit you all one by one

Ignore sentiments or anti-party then u will understand that buhari is right

For a country parading herself as the giant of Africa this is really disgraceful...its hard to believe a country like Nigeria could be facing this with our outstanding track record in pacemaking and peacekeeping tours

Shame on you Mr Buhari. What careless statement!

Forget giant or ant of Africa.

It took allied forces comprising all Europe plus America to defeat Hitler.

Boko Haram is as much threat to Cameroon and Chad as it is to Nigeria.

There should actually be UN troops also. The entire Subsaharan African is being threatened

[size=16pt]You TANoids have misinterpreted the message ooo[/size]
[size=16pt]He is not against supports from those countries but that they are performing well than Nigeria. Remember Jonathan borrowed $1billion to fight Bokoharam [/size]

True talk Mr Next President, but all that will change after u resume office on may 29th

Sai Buhari

If this is true, then this man needs serious rehab.

Meanwhile, hear him contradicting himself in a recent interview.

General Muhammadu Buhari: "Having
known how the Boko Haram developed, what I
would have personally done differently would be
to get the Presidents of Cameroun, Chad and
Niger together to say, ‘look our borders are porous
and that we are not able to effectively protect
them and monitor movements of people in and
out of our territory, but please make sure that you
do not provide training facilities or allow people to
be coming into the county"

Future unrealistic tense

What do you expect from a clueless, corrupt government and bias government that is always leaving in self denial in as much as I believe we should adopt and explore all means we can, even if its requires using the smaller poorer countries like Cameroon, Chad and Niger to stop this monster called Boko Haram , i believe its a BIG shame to this government and the Nigeria Army to allow other countries enter our borders to fight our battles for US. Any true born Nigerian that believes our neighbors loves Nigeria more than us is also leaving in self denial just like this clueless government. I believe this will not boomerang one day if this so called neighboring countries cross our borders again to test the strength of our army, our sovereignty and going further to hijack part of our land. Let the good loving people of Nigeria use this coming election to vote out this incompetent clueless government and vote the change movement by voting our good loving competent Peoples general and Professor come February 2015!!!

Buhari's cluelessness is legendary

Is this his how he hopes to lead this nation?

Good thing he will never get the chance to do so.

If he does not require a regional collaboration to fight Boko Haram which is a known to transcend borders and affect many countries then it is certain that he is a major sponsor.

Buhari is now bitter that his Boko haram organisation is facing annihilation from the multinational forces. It was the same boko haram leader who once condemned the FG for killing his Boko haram members.

The defeat Buhari will suffer next week will be disastrous to say the least..

You are mixing it all up.
We all know GEJ is synonymous with cluelessness.
Get your facts right next time.

The problem with Nigeria army is that it is polarised by the ruling party, Jonathan and his agents has turned the Nigeria army into its political arm. What our army are good at doing now is perfecting the environment to arm-twisting the electoral process to favour PDP. Maina regime as the top man of Nigeria army is the worst, our army has never been compromised as we have today.

"Because war against boko haram is war against jih*d "...bokari,airpishit,etal 20??.

HMMM... THIS MAN SELF

....Did i hear grandpa talk about securing his oyel installations? We know it's all about crude oil. When your eyes are cleared, you will be left with Tomato pyramids to secure.

Nigerian Army that used to go for Peace keeping Mission in Congo, Liberia, Sudan n d likes now needs Help in Dealing with Insurgency...


It's well

as mighty as USA millitary , you should have asked yourself why they made a combination of other countries to fight ISIS.

Akon419:

You think US needs help in dealing with any kind of insurgency?

The reason for all the coalition is just to be politically correct, in order to allay the general perception that USA is a big bully.
So don't be deceived!

freshness2020:

Future unrealistic tense

lol.....dnt worry guy, it has already become a fact realistic tense

Buhari will soon complain about multinational joint force killing his northern brothers the same way he complained when Nigeria army under the command of Ihejirika decimating boko haram

I wish Ihejirika were still COAS, Buhari and his BH field commanders would have be in exile today

an insult sef

2undexy:


lol.....dnt worry guy, it has already become a fact realistic tense

Only a dreamer would talk this way!
But don't worry bro cos time shall tell!

When the Mighty US wanted to fight the Nazis they needed a coalition

When the western forces needed to bring down Taliban they formed the allied Forces

US and UK needed arch enemy IRAN in a coalition to confront ISIS
We all know the problem has always been about our neighbours because when our soldiers chase BH they will cross over to Chad, Cameroon etc now that our neighbours are co-operating we will soon End Boko Haram

APC is opposed to anything that will restore Peace and stability to this great Nation it's a shame

No Nigerian should support such unpatriotic clique

They've started again...Soon you will hear that GEJ in collaboration with chad and Cameroon is committing genocide against the north ...We won't succumb to this blackmail again...NA carry go..exterminate this bastards..If Buhari interferes, kill am join
