Bombshell: Corruption in Military Made Nigeria Lose 14 Local Gov'ts To Boko Haram

The Nigerian President,Muhammadu Buhari has finally say its corruption in military and not that of the former administration, PDP,made Nigeria lose 14 local governments to the Islamic Terror group,Boko Haram.He stressed
that the successes recorded by the Nigerian
military against Boko haram insurgents was
because his government rid the institutions of
corruption.





He said that the loss of 14 local government
areas to Boko Haram last year had greatly
tarnished the reputation of the Nigerian Armed
Forces.
This was contained in a statement by the senior
special assistant to the president on media and
publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu.
Shehu in the statement said that president
Buhari made the disclosure at an audience with
the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Dr. Ahmed El-
Tayeb.





The President noted, however, that with
measures taken by his Administration to curb
corruption and provide better weaponry, logistics,
training and welfare for soldiers on the frontlines,
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," President Buhari said.
President Buhari who accepted the support of
Muslims across the world for Nigeria's war
against Boko Haram, also said that the war
against terrorism was also a war against
injustice, which he said was not condoned by
Islam and all the major religions.
According to him, 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.
"You can't kill the innocent in churches or in
mosques and shout Allahu Akbar," President
Buhari said.
Shehu also stated that the president reaffirmed
his administration's determination to resettle all
persons who were displaced by the Boko Haram
insurgency even as he thanked the Grand Imam
for the donation of scholarships, educational and
medical supplies to Nigeria's Internally Displaced
Persons.
Meanwhile, the visiting Dr. El-Tayeb told
President Buhari that Muslims all over the world
shared 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.
