President Muhammadu Buhari was on Upfront with Mehdi Hasan on Al Jazeera today and the retired general was roasted like suya on a dusty road in his hometown of Daura.
Buhari is a one-trick pony with depth-free answers to all questions – anti-corruption, security, relocating the army command to Maiduguri and so on. He tries to stick to that script and ends up not answering the questions or the follow-up.

Hasan asked Buhari if he could defeat Boko Haram by December as he claimed. He told the president that over 1,000 people have died since he was elected and that things were not getting better. All Buhari could offer was that “we are being honest about it”. He then claimed that Boko Haram are now restricted to Sambisa Forest and that they would be finished after the rainy season. If the insurgents are like Fred Astaire and prefer “dancing in the rain”, the president didn’t quite explain.
He was asked about how he knocked the former president for being unable to rescue the Chibok girls and he said he was willing to negotiate to ensure their rescue. He wasn’t quite clear on what he would negotiate with, money or prisoners. It was clear that the president had been informed about the need for negotiation, but not briefed on the intricacies of the matter.


Mehdi Hasan: has form in embarrassing Nigerian officials
The president dropped the ball on the questioning around human rights abuses by the military. He claimed that he had not received the report from Amnesty International. He was then told that the report was in the public domain. He stuck to the script, only to be told that it was not a new report. A proactive president would have asked to be given the report and then read it and take appropriate action to investigate. It was clear that the president didn’t care about human rights abuses by the military. The default position of people in this situation is to deny knowledge.

The biggest embarrassment was when Hasan showed he had done his homework by questioning Buharia on his comments about Sharia in 2001. Buhari advocated the total impostion of Sharia law, which is what Boko Haram are about. The president tried to claim that Boko Haram are not about Islam, but Hasan was having none of it. He repeated the question to Buhari whether he supported the imposition of Sharia Law. When pressed to answer the question, Buhari almost lost his rag.
The president ducked the question and said he couldn’t impose it. He never said anything about whether he supported it.
His silence on this was very revealing.

There are too many kids on Nairaland.
Immature and inexperienced.
The Nigerian Army is guilty of human rights abuses. Serious unspeakable ones but no President of Nigeria should admit it in public.
The statement by Buhari that he has not seen the report is very honest. No President..I repeat no president should govern Nigeria from hogwash on the Internet. The Al Jazeera moderator got a one sentence lecture about how a responsible leader of a nation does not take decisions based on Internet material and it was obvious he was embarassed by mentioning that the information was in the public domain. The President maintained that he won't act without the AI report and won't jail generals based on Internet reports.

President gave a detailed explanation of things on ground for defeating Boko Haram in December including the MNJTF bit of it. Maybe a little too detailed. All in all a very good interview.

If you want a Nigerian President who will tell Al Jazeera that he will try his generals (Ihejirika, Minimah et.c) for human rights abuses without investigation based on their own accusations then look for another clueless man to vote into office

You were not listening.
This is how you FAIL examinations.
Buhari told them he was not imposing Shariah.
He does not want to and could not impose it because of the constitution. Please open your mind and be dilligent.
The moderator caused the mix up because he injected Boko Haram into the Shariah issue.
Shariah has been an issue since 1979. Boko Haram came in 2006.

corrupt country

Don't mind these useless bloggers and the wailers alike. They certainly don't know what it takes to be a leader.

I have watched the interview and i was trying to see how the president was embarassed but could not see it. maybe there is another meaning of embarassement from the one we all knew.
The president calmly answered all questions possed to him.He said by end of the year boko haram will be defeated because the multinational force are waiting for the dry season to forcefuly unleash and uproot boko haram from sambissa. He further said that by the end of the year boko haram wont be able to organise any cohessive attack again but he cant guarantee end to IED attack which might still occur due to desperation from them.
on the issue of chibok girls, he said they have an idea were they are but they are been careful because they want them alive and will do anytin including negotiation to see that they are rescued. when pressed further, he said they will only negotiate if they are sure that those they are negotiating with are the true leaders of the sect and if they have guarantee from them that they are alive.The president further said the bait for the negotiation will depends on the scenerio either money, exchange of prisoners etc.
on amnesty report on human right abuse, he said he has not seen the report but heard about it and he cant prosecute people on the pages of newspaper. He has to see it and then investigate if found guilty then prosecute. He was asked weather he support imposition of sharia law. he said nigerians did not vote him to change the constitution.
Above all a very good interview and in my opinion an improvement on his previous ones as we saw a very 'fluent', confident and calm pres. muhammadu Buhari.

It a form of corruption to expect an intelligent answer from a SENILE OLD ILLITERATE..

Sorry to say it but he is truly a dullard as some people call him

so they said of Jona too. I would rather say the man made unwarranted statements that he would wish to retract after he became a president but cannot so he would rather blame his senility and short memory as a way of escape

Journalists can be annoying... pain in the ass.

Not suprised!!! Already knew we have an illiterate for a president and wasn't expecting much from him anyway
