President Goodluck Jonathan has said the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, did not pay attention to the development of the military while he was military Head of State.

Jonathan said Buhari did not buy a single rifle for the military while he was in government, adding that talking about fighting insurgency now would only end up as lip service.

The President, who spoke in Lagos at the flag-off of the presidential campaign of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, for the February general election, said if Buhari and those who had ruled the country before now had properly equipped the military, the fight against insurgency would have been won long ago.

and Buhari's Administration fought against terror Group, Drug Caters, Corrupt Officials n Politicians.. I think the Military then used bow n Arrow not Rifle..
Gej stop spewing dumbo statements

eighTHREAD:
See the video of buhari purchasing weapons for nigeria, and also read the proof of warfare purchased during his regime in the article below.

don't mind GEJ n fellow fools, how would an administration that fought Terror Group n Drug Caters not purchase Arms

Of course he never bought a single rifle because that is beneath a Head of State.
Rather he signed MoUs with defense contractors in order to get heavy-duty artilleries that would provide safety for his country.
Something that is almost impossible for you to do Mr Jonathan.
Someone please shut this man up!

YOU ARE MAD!!!!

With your N1trn budget, our military has not been this under-equipped EVER!!! The soldiers are literally crying that they're being made to fight insurgents with substandard weapons and he has the guts to criticize his predecessors' regimes. What a shameless clueless fellow.

Go get a life slowpoke your types are irrelevant!
Case closed

I'm tired of all these pointless comments by both parties.

If you're widely read enough, all you have to remember is that this is such a thing as SIPRI or the UN arms register which would show arms purchases for every year and by which country. Is it lack of nothing to say or offer that led to this? Or is that the President surrounds himself with advisers who don't know their onions?

GEJ advisers are so suffused with money that to do little research is a problem for them. The "no rifle bought for the army" remark is going to haunt him thoughout this week end up until early next week. Also building prisons instead of schools, PDP should tell us how many prisons Buhari had time to build in 18months that he was in power.
Now I would personally support the building of many prisons.

the mooted point by the Presidency whilst mundane shows the level of careless talk occasionally thrown from both sides

36 Mk.III tanks+5 ARVs+6 ABLs in
24 Albatross jets
75 units of Steyr 4K-7FA APCs

Homework for everyone is to guess who ordered this and with reference.

Are rifles toys that you buy just when you feel like it? Was there an insurgency or territorial aggression that overwhelmed buhari in 1984? If he truly didn't buy guns but still succeeded in pushing Chadian rebels back and also crushing maitatsine(BH mentors), shouldn't Jonathan be ashamed that despite the huge budgetary allocation for the military, baga is in the hands of boko haram as at today? Shouldn't he bury his head in shame that with his 'wisdom' in gathering and buying weapons, the chibok girls are still not home yet? And boko haram still duped him with a phantom ceasefire that cost the lives of Nigerians in mubi?

How can he not know he just indicted himself as clueless, wasteful and totally innefective?

The President....said if Buhari and those who had ruled the country before now had properly equipped the military, the fight against insurgency would have been won long ago.

Wtf!!! What manner of a useless comnent is this? So he's relying on weapons bought over 3 decades ago to fight insurgency in 2015. What is stopping him from equipping the military with the 1Trn anual budget for military ONLY. I live for the day he stops making careless statements

Get ready to hear more blatant idiocy tomorrow from GEJ in Enugu. He whom the gods wants to destroy completely, they slap his mouth to begin spew in the superior language of senior iimbeciles.

News source is not credible.

Nice try.

Sharaaaaaaaap,
Answer the question, did he buy a single rifle or he was using the insufficient once to terrorize Nigerians.
