The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has said it was a disgrace that neighbouring countries like
Chad, Niger and Cameroon had been more successful than Nigeria in the
battle against the Boko Haram insurgency.
Buhari told Reuters that, “It’s a big
disgrace for Nigeria. It is now Cameroon and Chad fighting the
insurgency more than Nigeria. We will build the capacity and Nigeria
should be able to secure its territorial integrity
“Our main objective is to secure the
country. We will not tolerate insurgency, sabotage of the economy by
blowing up of installations, by stealing crude and so on. All these
things will be things of the past.”
He assured that his administration would
tackle corruption in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and
reopen an investigation into the missing crude revenues of around $20bn,
adding that he would tackle the theft of crude tapped from pipelines in
the Niger Delta.
