30 Months After Buhari’s Show-off, Boko Haram Still Active – Fayose

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has said 30 months after President Muhammadu Buhari allegedly “boasted” about defeating Boko Haram in 3 months, the insurgents are still killing Nigerians.

Fayose, who was reacting to recent the abduction of 110 schoolgirls from the Government Girls Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State, accused some officials in Buhari’s regime of turning the insurgency war to a business venture.

The governor claimed that some officials in the current government would wish for the Boko Haram insurgency and abductions to continue so they could allegedly continue to make money from payment of ransoms to terrorists in dollars.

“Painfully, it appears we will have to live with Boko Haram for a very long time because waiting for President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to save Nigerians is a waste of time,” Fayose said in a statement by his media aide, Lere Olayinka.

“They boasted that Boko Haram will be defeated within three months; it is now more than 30 months. All that they have told Nigerians is grammar – Boko Haram technically defeated, Boko Haram completely defeated and now Boko Haram completely degraded.

“As long as the fight against Boko Haram remains a business venture, providing cheap money for top officials of this government, the insurgency will continue.

“President Buhari must, therefore, look inwards and purge his government of those benefitting from the insurgency if indeed he desires that it should end,” said the governor.
