President Muhammadu Buhari on Aljazeerah interview
President Muhammadu Buhari insists that has hasn't failed in the fight against Boko Haram even as the insurgent group has continued to wreck havoc in the northeast of Nigeria.
Speaking in a recent interview with Al Jazeerah, President Buhari says he has not failed in his war against Boko Haram despite some recorded incidents of attacks by the sect members in some parts of Nigeria.
He said the military have been able to wrestle most local governments away from the terror group since he came to power. He said the insurgent group have kept under control as they no longer carry out organized attacks as before.
“I have not failed. When we came in Boko Haram was effectively in 14 local governments. Nigeria has 774 local governments. They hoist their flags and they said they had a certain caliphate but today they no longer to hold any local government.
They have reverted to improvised explosive devices blowing soft targets, and that will be a kind of terrorism which will be difficult to eliminate because it is technological, but they cannot hold any local government again.
They are using technology but they cannot carry out organised attacks, overrun police post, attack military installations, they cannot do that now.” Buhari said.
