The reason why the Nigerian Army have not been able to defeat Boko Haram is because of the corruption in the country. President Buhari said this while speaking with the Grand Imam of Al-Azha, Dr Ahmed El-Tayeb. He further said the loss of 14 local government areas to Boko Haram
had greatly tarnished the reputation of the Nigerian
Armed Forces.
The President however, noted, that with measures
taken by his administration to curb corruption and
provide better weaponry, logistics, training and welfare
for soldiers on the front lines, the Nigerian military has
now almost totally incapacitated Boko Haram as a
fighting force and recovered all territories that were lost
to the terrorist sect.
“When we curbed corruption and removed the injustice
in the military, we began to make progress,” he said in
a statement by his spokesman, Mr Garba Shehu.
Welcoming the support of Muslims across the world for
Nigeria’s war against the dreaded sect, the President
said that the war against terrorism was also a war
against injustice, which is not condoned by Islam and
all the major religions.
“You can’t kill the innocent in churches or in mosques
and shout Allahu Akbar,” President Buhari said, adding
that the visit of Dr. El-Tayeb and his expression of
solidarity with Nigeria in the war against terrorism was
a clear indication of global Muslim support for Nigeria
against the unjust killing of the innocent by
terrorists”.he said
Reaffirming the Federal Government’s determination to
resettle all persons who were displaced by the Boko
Haram insurgency, he thanked the Grand Imam for the
donation of scholarships, educational and medical
supplies to Nigeria’s Internally Displaced Persons.
Responding,the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Dr. El-Tayeb
said that Muslims all over the world share Nigeria’s
pains from terrorism and would continue to support
efforts to ensure the return of peace and unity amongst
all faiths in the country.
