SPECIAL REPORTS

2015-01-09 17:06:30

President Jonathan while addressing a crowd of party supporters at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos stated that the fight against terrorism is dragging on because of lack of equipment owing to the fact that previous governments including that of Gen Buhari failed to equip the Nigerian soldiers.

At the commencement of the presidential campaign in Lagos, Jonathan announced the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Major General Muhammadu Buahri (rtd) "did not buy a single rifle”, while he served as a military Head State.

Chiding Buhari who said he will fight insecurity, Jonathan said: “Ask him, when he was the head of government, did he buy one rifle for the Nigerian military? They refused to equip the military. Ask them what they did with their defence budget that they did not equip the military.

BUT WHAT ARE THE FACTS?

Facts and Figures from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute an independent resource on global security.
