The presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, has lamented the killing of soldiers fighting Boko Haram insurgency in the North East, saying the incident does not speak well of the country’s internal security apparatus.

She also commiserated with families of the deceased, while expressing wonder at why it took the military about a week to confirm the incident.

Ezekwesili in a statement on Sunday challenged the military authorities and the Commander-in-Chief, President Muhammadu Buhari, to prove that they haven’t failed the nation’s soldiers.

While commiserating with families of the deceased, she suggested that the fallen soldiers must not be deprived of their honour.

According to her, many questions were begging for answers with the recent killings of soldiers.

She asked the Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to “publish the names and authentic figures of fallen soldiers for Nigerians to know the extent of damage and for record purposes.”

Ezekwesili said, “There are pertinent questions that the Federal Government and the military need to answer.

“How did this latest in a series of killing of our soldiers in front line of battle catch our country off-guard?

“Don’t we think the official line that the Presidency and military have been pushing on the state of the terrorism war is endangering our soldiers and nation?

“Can the government be more honest on the challenges it appears to be facing in prosecuting the war?

“It is no longer acceptable for our heroes to die and not be accorded the honour of gallantry.

“The FG and the military must accord full military burial rites to the fallen soldiers and also publish the list of others who have died and had been buried discretely in recent times without giving the Nigerian people the opportunity to celebrate their gallantry.

“The Federal Government should immediately take measures to protect and preserve our soldiers, military establishments, our people and territory to avoid further deaths.

“It is time for a review of current operational strategy being used to prosecute the war. It is also high time that our Intel (intelligence unit) was revamped.

“The Federal Government must take measures to assess the failure of leadership of the Service Chiefs — as performance, accountability and consequence have been missing for far too long and must now change.”

She subsequently advised the military to improve on its intelligent gathering, saying that would be key to defeating the Boko Haram insurgency.

The military don't work that way, after recovery of all the bodies or confirmation that no one survived out of the captured soldiers or no MIA soldiers who simply abscond, then their families get notified. For now they are still unknown soldiers or john doe. One of the major Objective of a terrorist group is to create panic among the citizenry true terror act and videos of such occurrences like beheading and attacks, such panics help them recruit more personnels (for fear of been safe) or cause political turmoil either ways proper information management is critical. You never see Americans release any information on counter terrorism anyhow except everything is over and no more lives are at jeopardy

The daura cow is in trouble



Buhari and his minions will be disgraced at the polls next year. Their boasting shall be turned to fear

Buhari will ignore this one. For his mind, Gandollar will get him 5 Million phantom votes so he doesn’t need Oby telling him what to do

This woman wants to set a huge trap for the dullard. Publishing their names will only expose the state of origin of these soldiers, and lead the few ignorant to understand that Buhari is tactically wipping out middle belt and Christian soldiers from the Army.

So that when his Jihad is in full swing, there will be no Christian soldiers to resist it. Buhari the terrorist must be stopped.

Let's do it this way
If Atiku wins,you sell me to ritualists
If Buhari wins, I'll sell your pants to yahoo boys
Deal?

No deal,

With your options, it's glaring that you are already in contact if not working with ritualists and yahoo boys

I don't know any of these

I'd prefer you fall and die if Atiku wins

Deal

publish names of those killed at this time? No.


tell Nigerians the number killed? yes.



however, 2 cenotaphs should be built:

one to contain the names of security officials killed in this war & another to contain the names of all innocent non-combatants that have also fallen victim to this scourge.

Sad

Ah! You want to expose the incompetence of this administration?

Boko Haram has been technically defeated, it is ISWAP that's causing havoc according to zombies.

Don't worry, Bubu will lead the war front in order to fulfil the promise he made when he was sworn in.

They have to be profiled and their families informed first before publishing their names if the army so desire.
Madam I too know!

Bubu has failed everyone, he should just resign or face humiliating defeat.

“Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to “publish the names and authentic figures of fallen soldiers for Nigerians to know the extent of damage and for record purposes.”

Go and tell Buhari he is mad.

He should officially tell Lt. Col. Sakaba's wife the whereabout of her husband.

Buhari thinks it's to wine mouth during GEJ's rule

A frustrated and irrelevant politician seeking attention. If Buhari had appointed her a minister as she anticipated, she would have been a defender of this administration.
Madam we know better now.
I wonder if publishing names will bring back the dead soldiers or solve the problem.

This Oby has been talking too much on military matters. Isnt she the same one pushing the government to send more troops into Sambisa to look for the girls? Madam, its high time you pick up one AK47 and enter bush not saying bullcrap like this. Let the army manage its affairs or enroll your male children in the army.

Melete was a disaster, Boko Haram is a dangerous army willing to die. Instead of criticizing the army, please join civilian JTF or ahut da hell up.

Its sad. They said the delay was to notify their families... Since Tuesday o
I hear they even threatened the families of these victims to keep mum about this on Social Media or face delayed benefits.

The monster they created can't be tamed, even by the "saint".

They buy obsolete weapons for soldiers to fight against terrorists they fund by way of paying ransom.

The corruption under Buhari is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf.
