President Muhammadu Buhari has painted a worrisome picture of the on-going war against Boko Haram , saying that there was not enough Air fire power to support ground troops to decimate the terrorists. 
He spoke on Good Morning Nigeria, a programme of the Nigerian Television Authority, Monday, in Abuja.
He made the comment while failing to answer repeated questions on whether or not he was able to secure  a commitment from America to sell critical equipments to defeat the terrorists. 
His words, Because of the high technology the U S has and of course the other developed countries like China.
“Our case is lack of capacity and effective Airforce. Noting that we don’t have trained personnel. 
“The Airforce is virtually non – existent.  The fixed wings aircraft are not very serviceable.  The helicopters are not serviceable and they are too few.
“We need Airforce to conduct reconnaissance and support the ground troops.
“The arrangement made by the former government will soon expire.  
“We have made this clear to the Americans and we have made it clear to G7 and we need their cooperation. ”
President Buhari vowed to retrieve proceeds crude  oil stolen by corrupt Nigerian leaders.
He said that crack teams of the Nigerian anti- graft agencies  were already on the trail of such funds and that those involved would be prosecuted at the end of the investigations.
President Buhari, however, reduced the quantity of the alleged  crude oil theft to 250, 000 barrels per day. 
He had told Americans during his last week trip to Washington that 1 million barrels were been stolen daily. 
He failed to answer repeated questions on whether he got any commitment from America to seal military equipment to Nigeria with which to fight Boko Haram. 
He only lamented that there were not enough serviceable Airforce fighter jets and other military hardwares to quickly win the war against terror.
President Buhari also gave an insight into those to be appointed into his cabinet,  saying that he would appoint only patriotic Nigerians who were knowledgeable professionals and technocrats who had not been compromised

PMB, I support you in all ways, whether it is 1million barrel or 250,000. Get it fixed.

Hmmm

it's a good statement as far as procurement of more platforms is concerned but to say NAF is virtually non existent in this conflict is an ignorant statement from the highest office of the land.
