BREAKING: I Am Suspecting Buhari To Be A Boko Haram Member – Jonathan Speaks Out, Tenders Shocking Evidence

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari appears to be winning the war against rag tag Boko Haram, because the insurgents are sympathetic to the All Progressives Congress-led, APC, administration.

Jonathan made this disclosure In the book, titled: “Against the Run of Play: How an incumbent President was defeated in Nigeria”, written by Olusegun Adeniyi.

Jonathan added that, his government did its best, as far as the fight against Boko Haram was concerned, and further noted that, while the insurgents saw him as an ‘infidel’, they see Buhari as one of ‘their own’.

He said:  “What is happening now with regards to Boko Haram, was the same thing that happened to me, regarding the Niger Delta militants in 2007.

“I did my best and so did the military, although I can understand if there is greater commitment to the fight now than in the past.

“In my time, Boko Haram said they were fighting an infidel. There is a feeling of ‘our man is there now’ that you cannot discountenance”, Jonathan said.

On Obasanjo’ s charge that the immediate past President never took the Boko Haram fight serious, Jonathan again said: “I recall that immediately he won the election in 1999, before he was even sworn in, Obasanjo had visited the Niger Delta, to hold meetings.

“Meanwhile, the first time I would be meeting Asari Dokubo, Ateke Tom, and other militants, was years later in Aso Rock, at a meeting (Obasanjo) called to find a solution to the problem, at a period I was Deputy Governor in Bayelsa State. Despite all those efforts, Obasanjo failed to resolve the problem, until late Yar’Adua came with the Amnesty Programme. Should we then hold Obasanjo accountable for the Niger Delta problem?

“The allegation that I didn’t care (about the Chibok girls) was false. Immediately I was alerted, I called the military and Security Chiefs for a briefing, after tasking them to get to the root of the matter. Information was initially hazy, and there were things that did not add up.

“More than 200 girls were reportedly abducted from different hostels, and then put on an open trailer that had no railings.

“In the same trailer, according to reports, Boko Haram fighters loaded foodstuff. The girls were said to have been abducted by people claiming to be soldiers. The military people were on ground, and I relied on the information I could get from them. Of course I cared, and charged them to find the girls, but every effort (we made) was twisted against me, to score cheap political points.

“When the Military and Security Chiefs demanded for more time to deal with insurgency, the reasons were genuine. As at February 2015, it would have been very difficult to vote in Gombe, Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe States. But the moment all arms and ammunition that had been ordered finally arrived, the Military was able to use them to degrade the capacity of Boko Haram, to the level in which they posed no threat to the election”, Jonathan declared.
