Contrary to a
statement accredited to him on CNN ,promising to tackle Boko Haram in two
months,the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation has
described the media reports as misleading and unfounded..In a statement issued
by Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign
Organisation, Garba Shehu, on Thursday, Shehu said Buhari never made such
a promise..
“His Excellency,
the President-elect is still waiting to be sworn in on May 29. After the
ceremony, he would need time to study the security situation and plan
strategically with the security chiefs as to the way forward. Time is of
essence here.Therefore, President Buhari didn’t and wouldn’t peg the decimation
of terrorism from the country’s territories to just two months.
The General was
unequivocal about cleansing Boko Haram from our land; he would do a good job of
it by giving a final, permanent push to rid Nigeria of unscrupulous elements.
“The President-elect said that much to the world media including the British
Broadcasting Corporation and Cable News Network.He never put a time-frame to
when he would eliminate terrorists. It would be unfair and mischievous for
someone to ascribe to him what he hasn’t said.”
