• FG not sincere, says APC chieftain, Galadima

A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Buba Galadima, has debunked a claim by the Federal Government that all territories have been reclaimed from Boko Haram, saying that at least seven local governments in Borno State are still under the control of the sect.

In an exclusive interview with The Guardian in Abuja, Galadima, who is a founding member of the APC from Yobe State, said there are 27 local governments in Borno State but not all are functioning because of the activities of Boko Haram.

“As I speak to you, many local government councils operate partially in Borno State. There are supposed to be 27 of them and you find out that not all of them are functional with their secretariats, at least seven of them, still under the control of Boko Haram.

“You will discover that all the emirs are resident in Maiduguri rather than in their domains and, of course, you will also know that feeding of troops in some local government headquarters is done by dropping food for them with helicopters,” Galadima disclosed.

He said: “Even if they cook, there is no access to the troops. They drop ammunition, they drop food for them from the air, so can anyone say that because you are in the local government headquarters and you can’t move one inch from where you are, you have reclaimed everywhere?”

On the claim by government that Boko Haram’s stronghold of Sambisa forest has been liberated, Galadima said: “If they (military) have taken over some parts of Sambisa which is so extensive and over 1000 kilometers stretching from Jigawa through Bauchi, Gombe to Adamawa states and into Cameroun and liberated only the headquarters of the proposed national guard which is about 30 kilometers away from Maiduguri, that is not total liberation.”

According to him, the national guard training camp also known as ‘Ground Zero’ has bunkers which were previously occupied by Boko Haram before the military uprooted them from there. “What about the rest of the place, the remaining vast area of 1000 kilometres?” he asked.

The APC chieftain suggested that the military should be proactive to acquire territory and hold the ground and not to be in one place. “They wait for attack by Boko Haram and then repel, if they had been moving, even if it’s one kilometer per day, they could have finished the job.”

I thought military operation and the airforce drills should be more focused here.

I wonder why snake like dancing with people who are not armed?

When will Alhaji Liar Mohammed tell of the sponspors of this group who have been so labelled since 3 years now. Why is it too difficult to for the government to disclose their sponsors?

This is what the propaganda government have been fighting for more than 2years now.Even Lai Muhammed said BH have been technically defeated.Keep on hallucinating.

They left boko haram, and went to buldoze innocent civilians.. Chaii. That is how low Nigeria and her army have SUNK...such a disgrace, such a shame.. What a pity..and you call this the giant of Africa?¿?.Mehn I need to laugh

I think we have to be patriotic in this country for once.
How well do we love Nigeria?

This FG is doing everything to ensure the safety of lives and properties.I think it is in the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians to understand Government's fight towards corruption,terrorism and underdevelopments.

The GEJ administration sponsored Boko Haram,and they devastated lands,killed hundreds and thousands.
We were almost run down as a nation,but this Government came through the help of the COAS have stemmed the tide.

People can go about freely now.
This FG was able to rehabilitate Boko Haram to become freedom-fighters.
But like every peaceful organisation,criminal gangs will want to take over,so what the FG is doing is to convert them at the next UNGA to a pure freedom-fighter group.
Together,with the Fulani herdsmen,we have a formidable Civilian JTF that will fight crime and arson in the S/E and S/W zones of the country.
All we wait is the President's signature.

Nigeria Army would contain them.

Galadima should name at least Two Local Government area in Borno state that's Under the control of Boko Haram.......My uncle is a captain in the Nigeria army presently in Gwoza axis of Borno state and He said there's presently no LGA under the control of Boko Haram........The Ipob in this forum can help us with at least one LGA under the control of Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria and not in Borno alone.......Pmb may have his wrong doing but He really put is best in reducing Boko Haram activities in the country.......we all know what happened under the clueless Ex-Gcfr where Boko Haram control over 15Lga in Borno state..... Yobe,Abuja,Adamawa,Kano,Jos, and many other states were touched by Boko Haram but reverse is the case today under the leadership of PMB and General Tukur

What has IPOB got to do with this news. The statement was made by a native of borno state and APC top brass. Even Atiku alluded to the fact of Boko haram still holding territory recently

N:B I'm from Northern Nigeria.......North Central to be precise.........No body can mention at least Two LGA that's Under the control of Boko Haram insurgence......even the Atiku you just mentioned can not give precisely One Lga under the control of Boko Haram

The reason food and ammunitions is being dropped by helicopters is because they are scared of ambush by boko haram terrorist on the roads leading to the various locations..not because the local governments are controlled by boko haram ...the roads are simply insecure to travel on

We are from the same region. Boko Haram is domiciled mainly in the north east

When Buhari met with Nigerian jounalists, his intention was to warn them so as not to carry much news about boko haram and its activities in north east after which they later came out to say they have technically defeated boko haram.

Boko haram is still very active, they are just sweeping it under the carpet so that Nigerians won't wipe their azzes.
