Terrorism: Buhari surrenders, says ‘Nigerians know we have done our best’

Nigeria’s President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Friday said his regime had done its best as far as fighting the Boko Haram terrorists in the North East and militants in the South-South was concerned.

Though, the spate of terrorism and genocidal orgy of violence, topped by apparent Jihadism, have overwhelmed the Nigeria’s security architecture in every sense, since the inception of the Buhari led administration, leaving Nigerians in the situation of the proverbial “between the Devil and the deep blue sea”.

The best Buhari’s administration offered Nigerians in the fight against terrorism and insecurity in the country, is the worst case of gross and glaring incompetence of a retired Army General.

This statement buttressed the fact that the Commander in-chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic Nigeria, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has thrown in the towel and is no longer in charge of the reigns of power in the country, as this is the best his administration has offered Nigerians, in terms of war against terrorism and insecurity.

The President spoke in an interview he granted State House correspondents after joining his family members and some top government officials to observe the Eid El-Kabir prayers inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The President’s claim that he has done his best on insurgency and militancy came two days after insurgents attacked the convoy of the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum.

The governor was said to be on routine inspection when his convoy was attacked by suspected members of Boko Haram between Baga and Munguno on Wednesday.

On Thursday, multiple explosions from mortars fired by suspected Boko Haram members hit Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, leaving many injured.

But Buhari, who recalled that his regime inherited the security challenges from the previous administration, said he has done his best.

He however knocked security agencies on the current security challenges in the North West and North Central, saying they can do better than what they are currently doing.

The President said, “I want Nigerians to be very conscious of their country and what we inherited when we came in 2015 was Boko Haram – North East and the militants, the South-South. Nigerians know that we have done our best.

“What is coming up in the North West and North Central is very disturbing indeed but I believe the military, the police, and other law enforcement agencies from the report I am getting, I think they could do much better.

“They could do much better, but we are keeping them on the alert all the time to do their duties.”
