Boko haram will be crushed within two months - Nigeria’s president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari

Muhammadu Buhari has promised to eliminate the Boko Haram insurgent group in north-east Nigeria within two months of his assuming office.

He said the Federal Government made some mistakes in its fight against Boko Haram and his administration will addressed those issues.

  “we know how they started and where they are now and we will rapidly give attention to security in the country. And I believe we will ef­fectively deal with them in two months when we get into office.”

“We will be needing the cooperation of neighboring countries such as Cam­eroon, Chad and Niger. There were efforts made by the President Goodluck Jonathan administration, but it was not good enough and it came rather late,”

“These were only done a few months ago and we have seen how Cameroon, Chad and Niger are fighting Boko Haram more than Ni­geria is doing until recently. Really we have seen enough and we have enough law enforcement to face Boko Haram squarely.”

“They will…if you re­call, the Nigerian soldiers out of all ethical expecta­tions were granting inter­views to foreign journalists, saying they were being sent to fight terrorists without proper weapons

Buhari disclosed this to Chris­tiane Amanpour on CNN.
