Buhari To Probe Arms Purchase Under Jonathan by wapSmart(m): 4:51am On Aug 10, 2015 |
August 10, 2015: Olalekan Adetayo President Muhammadu Buhari will order an investigation into contracts involving the procurement of weapons for the military under the Goodluck Jonathan administration. The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, disclosed this while featuring on a Channels Television programme, Politics Today, on Sunday evening. Shehu spoke a few days after the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, said he led a military that was ill-equipped. A former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), had also said while some weapons and equipment procured by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan were used to fight insurgency during the latter days of his tenure, some others were still being awaited. The presidential spokesman said Buhari was interested in taking stock of every naira that left the national treasury and for what purpose. He said Nigerians were aware that books were already being checked and the exercise was not limited to the oil sector. He said, “The President is interested in every penny that leaves the Nigeria’s treasury. “As you are aware, records are being checked right now, not only in the oil sector, but also in the various departments of g overnment. “So, Mr. President is really interested in what has happened to the equipment that have supposedly been bought and supplied, some of which might be there on the ground or might not be. “Only a thorough audit will actually reveal this. The disclosure has been made about substandard (equipment) in the Nigeria’s fight against Boko Haram.” Shehu reiterated Buhari’s desire to urgently end the activities of the Boko Haram sect. While saying that normalcy is gradually being restored, the presidential spokesman noted that there is currently no territory in the control of Boko Haram. “The insurgents have been degraded. They are in disarray without a central command and coordination,” he declared. Shehu said the President would not send troops to the warfront without ensuring that they are properly equipped and taken care of. “Just on Friday, at the National Defence College, Mr. President was committing himself to the fact that our military will be well taken care of in terms of their welfare, in terms of their equipment and in terms of the motivation they need to confront these insurgents. “We are already beginning to see the fruits of this because as we speak right now, Boko Haram is in disarray. “And what we are witnessing now; that is, occasional bombings and suicide attacks, characterise only one thing globally. And that is that, the dying days of the insurgency. It’s just a matter of time, we’ll get there,” he said. http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-to-probe-arms-purchase-under-jonathan/ 5 Likes 1 Share |

Jonathan should be probed for everything. Everything that man and his cabal touched, they turned into a dust of corruption. It will take Buhari, at least 2 to 3 Years to undo the financial atrocities committed by Jonathan. It is not enough to probe. It is about time, people are starting to be held accountable for nearly bringing Nigeria to it's knees. Probe everything President Buhari. The Probe should even go as looking at how he got the money to build his mini heaven in Bayelsa. 29 Likes 1 Share |

Love him or Hate him he is the current oga-boss calling the shot, he is the one occupying the front seat so you need not bellyache when he makes a move. I really like Baba stance on mowing corruption to some level in this country, he is ever ready to do that and one can feel, touch the seal in him. A new page have been open, this is a new era where all and sundry will be accountable for what is been trusted into their hands. This is not the era of "chop and walk freely", this is the era of "chop and be accountable for what you chop". Kudos to GEJ, you still someone that i respect so much because been a leader over two people is never an easy task not to talk of over 1million people. I still think the people that walk and work with you soil your administration but the buck will not be pass to them but to you because you are the head. 15 Likes |

Baba Go Slow. A lot of motion but no movement. Force (F) x Distance (D) = Work (W) Energy wasted, no work done. He should remember that he does not have eternity to deliver the change he promised. 24 Likes |

Prince081:even scientists made the conclusion that though ENERGY can neither be created, nor destroyed but can only be converted from one form to another. Hence, no wasted energy but effort! Morover, it needs fuel, repairing and proper servicing to move an already wrecked car like Nigeria to make any significant movement. Motion and no movement? ![]() 35 Likes 1 Share |

Smart move by Baba. I know some Wailers will say this is witch-hunting. The corruption in the Army is 'breath-taking' especially those at the top. They divert funds and send our soldiers to war without adequate weapons. Those showing us google PHOTOS of some imaginary weapons and claiming they were purchased under GEJ shuld be ready to produce physical evidence God bless PMB God bless our Armed forces God bless Nigeria |
