One time military Head of State of Nigeria, Yakubu Gowon, on Tuesday, October 27, disagreed with President Muhammadu Buhari on the December deadline given to the Military to end the Boko Haram insurgency.
President Buhari had earlier ordered the military to end the insurgency in three months, ending December 2015. However, Gowon stressed that the war against Boko Haram insurgency might not end by December as projected by the federal government.
He said no one could be certain when the insurgency would end.He however implored Nigerians to use prayers as an alternative and effective weapon to defeat Boko Haram, which is capable of changing the hearts and minds of the insurgents.
