Boko Haram Is A Fraud, Says Buhari

A statement from Gen Buhari
signed by his media aide, Shehu
Garba.
“The fraud called Boko Haram can
be defeated by denying it a
recruitment base,” General Buhari
told visiting leaders of Nassarawa
State who came to congratulate him
on his emergence as President-
elect.
No religion allows for the killing of
children in school dormitory, in
markets and places of worship.
They have nothing to do with
religion. They are terrorists and we
are going to deal with them as they
deal with terrorists anywhere,” he
announced.
Buhari said he is greatly pained by
the destruction of schools in the
North-eastern part of the country,
an action he said could deny
thousands of youngsters access to
education and a better future
unless something was done
urgently to avert this tragedy.
“The worst thing anybody can do is
to deny children access to
education. That will be destructive
to their lives and we are not going
to allow that to happen,” the
President-elect assured.
He announce that his government
will help the states to get more
money to improve infrastructure
by ensuring that all federally
collectible revenues are paid
directly into the federation account
and each tier of government given
its due share.
“As at now, the government does
not even know how many revenue
accounts it has.
We will give all the tiers what is
due to them but will hold them to
be accountable as we would the
federal government.”
Buhari while describing Nassarawa
state as his own “political
laboratory”, meaning the only CPC-
controlled state of the 36 others
adjudged the experiment as having
been a success.
“From one state, I now have 22
political laboratories.”
He commended Governor Al-
Makura for surviving his many
impeachment plots, saying
“without Nassarawa, there would
not have been an APC.”
