Presidential candidate for the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 Presidential election, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has frowned on the emergency rule in parts of the North. He alleged that innocent civilians were being killed in the states. Buhari speaking during a Liberty FM Hausa Service Programme, Guest of the Week, on Sunday in Kaduna said that Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished unlike the “special treatment” given to the Niger Delta militants by the Federal Government Buhari, who also blamed President Goodluck Jonathan for failing to tackle the security problems in the country, argued that the challenges started in the Niger Delta. He said, “What is responsible for the security situation in the country is caused by the activities of Niger Delta militants. “Every Nigerian that is familiar with happenings knows this. The Niger Delta militants started it all. What happened is that the governors of the Niger Delta at that time wanted to win their elections, so they recruited youths and gave guns and bullets to them to use against their opponents to win elections by force. “After the elections, they asked the boys to return the guns, and the boys refused to do so. Because of that the allowance that was being given to them by the governors was stopped.” Buhari said his joining the proposed All Progressives Congress was not all about securing the party presidential ticket for the 2015 elections. According to him, the formation of the APC and his joining the group is to help effect the needed change in the polity and not just about his presidential ambition. He declared, “If APC fails to give me the ticket, I will remain in partisan politics and in the party. Anyone the party picks as its candidate, I will support him because I will remain in the APC.” Besides, Buhari noted that the problem of the country was that of bad leadership, which the APC was out to change.

Boko Haram are our Siblings. You can't set the Army to go wipe out your Family. - Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan. (GCFR)

Hehehehehehe, what should we do to them then?

Awwwwwwww Enugu...

I agree partially

capture, torture, gain information and kill them.

If you blast the animals, Buharists will complain, if you pamper them, they will call your clueless.
That was how the accused Ihejirika and GEJ of genocide when the former Chief of staff took the battle to boko haram.

Some people are hoping to ride on the back of boko haram insurgency to power.
Let us see how it pans out.

holatin:
I agree.

capture, torture, gain information and kill them.

Naaah you got it wrong, according to Buhari you should treat them like Niger delta ex militants i.e give them amnesty, oil contracts and pay then monthly stipends.
Hahahahahahaha
That is how our general intends to stop boko haram.

Buharii at it again.

@ Op.

As you twisted this statement - which was made since 2012 when Buhari was insisting that the Federal Government is tackling the insurgency the wrong way and that the way its being handled can only escalate the situation (which time has proved him right) but you the op choose to twist the statement to suit your purpose of tarnishing Buhari's image so shall your life be twisted to your detriment in Jesus Name!

Shut up fool! What part of the statement did I twist?
Isn't it a fact that Bihari wanted the boko haram murderes to be treated like Niger delta ex-militants? Go and read that article throughly and see if Buhari talked like someone who should rule Nigeria, he was even blaming the militancy in the Niger delta for insurgency in the north.
Why wouldn't the insurgency escalate when people like Buhari cry genocide when the terrorists are being dealt with?

The same thing the american and the European union are complaining of extra judicial killings this government will never learn.

So the ones who attacked Damaturu yesterday shouldn't have been killed?

missberrypop5:
Hehehehehehe, what should we do to them then?

Boko Hari feels that it is more patriotic, humane, and indeed "presidential", to rehabilitate rather than liquidate captured terrorist gunmen.

Specifically Buhari would like the Nigerian federal government to ensure that each captured Boko Haram fighter is given immediate access to 72 virgins while they are guests of the military, and WITHOUT the requirement that the fighters be killed as a prerequisite for entry into Paradise, where the treasured privilege of qualifying for virgin allocations was previously restricted by Holy Laws finally overturned in the court of public opinion.

When the terrorist slave-raiding gangs in the Sambisa theater of war get to know that their colleagues that fell into federal hands are actually enjoying wine, women and song while relaxing in those once-feared army barracks, the gunmen will disarm IMMEDIATELY and turn themselves in so as to score a stay in similar enviable conditions, as a guest of the Nigerian federal government. This innovative approach to modern warfare is the ONLY way to defeat the virgin hunters at their own game, and thus to end the terrorist invasion of northern Nigeria, within the time-frame of a weekend or less.

For suggesting this innovative approach to conflict resolution, Buhari the terror gang financier and Jihad consultant should be mighty proud of himself, especially when he is summoned to grace the august occasion at which his eccentric "contributions" to world peace will be feted while royal scribes record events for posteriors, on the hallowed anus of history.

You are just d most foolish GEJ apologist on here, if u get the statement well. U won't twist words like a mumu.. Amnesty given to militants made BH stronger cos they too wanted amnesty that wat GMB meant. U don't negotiate with Terrorist if u settle one with money anoda would arise for same purpose, but if u level dem dey dont born anyone well to cos trouble. This how u deal with terrorist.


UN "we don't negotiate with terrorist"

Liberty fm has always been a pro-APC radio station promoting unprofessional journalism.

Btw, isn't it surprising that Buhari who after he was attacked in Kaduna, maintained that the best way to crush insurgency, was to employ the same military tactics used during the civil war against the Biafrans is now the one talking of "not killing" the Boko Haram.

the same way Jonathan said during the 2011 campaign that in 4years, power supply won't be an issue and today that statement is still being used against him.

Men of principles stick to their words no matter the challenges/criticism. They don't support today and deny tomorrow.

As at 2012 BH had committed enough crimes to be tagged a terrorist group.
The Niger Delta militants were like a cult, what they did is not even a quarter of what BH had done as at 2012.

No be today

Buhari's evil utterances will always hunt him

in 2015 he will be president of his village and omenka his deputy

Niger Delta Ex-militants fought for the liberation of their region from the hanky panky dealings of the oil companies and the neglect of their communities by successive regimes.I wonder what the bokoharam boys are fighting for.It is a pity that General Buhari have confirmed my fear of him being sympathetic to bokoharam.Imagine Someone aspiring to lead a country comparing terrorists who have blantly refused to negotiate with the government to a group that fought for the liberation of their ppl from clutches of dubious oil companies,so bad. The year he made such statements is irrelevant.if given the opportunity,he will equally say the same thing
