President-elect, Gen. Buhari today tackled the Nigerian
military over their inability to reclaim lost territories to Boko
Haram. Buhari expressed his dissatisfaction at the military when
he received members of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) in Kaduna
"The Nigerian military has never been so incapacitated like now. It is
a shame that the military cannot secure 14 local governments out of the
774 local governments in the country. What is more worrisome is the fact that the military had to rely on
South African machinery before it could gain recent success in the war
against Boko Haram. My administration will concentrate on major areas on assumption of
office, that is, insecurity, the economy, unemployment and corruption.
We will ensure we nip the insecurity in the bud. The Nigeria Army could not do small thing, they have to bring in
South African machinery to enable them record the recent gains in the
Northeast. The morale of the security forces will be raised. The
military is incapacitated, it is a shame that the military cannot secure
14 out 774 Nigerian local governments in the northeast. I don’t know how many of you know this. I got to know about it few
days ago that the recent gains in the northeast were because South
African mercenary was used.”he said
