Buratai: Nigerians Are Not Appreciative; I Was Ambushed 3 Times By Boko Haram by gistsmill04: 11:08pm On Feb 27, 2021
Ex-Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd), on Saturday, said the effort to contain insurgents by the Army under his command was not appreciated by Nigerians.

The ex-Army boss spoke in Kuta, Osun State, at an interdenominational prayer organised for him by Olowu of Kuta, Oba Adekunle Oyelude, held in the Olowu’s palace.

Represented by two of his coursemates, Major Daniel Banjo (retd) and Wing Commander Mamman Yusuf (retd.), Buratai, who spoke through Banjo, said three times he was ambushed while battling insurgents.

He then assured the community of continued relationship and support even after exiting the Army.

“At the war front, many things happened and Nigerians are not appreciative. Three times I was ambushed and jumped into the bush with my men and engaged the insurgents. My relationship with Olowu of Kuta is divine,” Buratai said.

In his remarks, Olowu of Kuta, Oba Oyelude, said the people of the community would remain grateful to Buratai for the assistance he rendered towards the completion of a bridge linking the community to Ede.

Oba Oyelude said, “For decades, several prominent political officeholders have tried to help us construct Ede/Kuta Bridge, but they could not, but on bringing the request before Lt. General Buratai, he granted it and ensure it was built.

“This is enough achievement for me as a monarch. The bridge is almost a hundred years and now the communities in this area have been linked and the villagers are now liberated.

“My support for the army was borne out of the fact that Buratai is a detribalised Nigerian and the most humane to serve as Army boss. The nation can only enjoy peace if we support the army to succeed in its quest to battle insecurity irrespective of who is in control.”

Prayers were offered for the ex-Army boss by Muslim and Christian clerics at the event attended by dignitaries from within and outside Osun State.

Appreciative for what exactly?
Maybe we should appreciate you for receiving bogus salaries and bonuses sitting in the comfort of Abuja whilst young men who earn less than 60k in the worst condition of service are faced with constant ambush and bombardment from terrorists in the Northeast.
Maybe we should be appreciative for the houses in Dubai you saved to purchase.
Maybe we should be appreciative of the role you played in the massacre of members of the Shi'ite Islamic sect.
Or maybe we should be appreciative for being the head of the military that shot it's citizens on oct 20 2020 while they are 'Japaring' from bandits and killer herders.







Oga go and enjoy your loots and worldly possessions and stop disturbing us with what is tormenting you. If you succeeded as COAS you won't be needing this campaign.

Who is this one, we know what Buhari used you for. The Lands you forcefully removed people from through mass murder and settle Fulani’s in will latter be recovered in the future. The descendants of the indigenes of that land are regrouping and they will come back for their properties.

Anyone can say any rubbish, Buratai was the army chief that brought peace to Maiduguri and many other cities and now Maiduguri is back to being attacked successfully.

Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, rtd, the immediate past Chief of Army Staff, has narrated how he was ambushed by Boko Haram on three occasions as COAS and had to escape being killed.

The former COAS said this while lamenting that all the army did to contain the terrorists under his command was not appreciated by Nigerians.

Buratai said this on Saturday in Kuta, Osun State, at an interdenominational prayer organised for him by Olowu of Kuta, Oba Adekunle Oyelude.

The former army boss was represented at the occasion by Major Daniel Banjo (retd) and Wing Commander Mamman Yusuf (retd.), two of his course mates. He spoke through Banjo.

At the war front, many things happened and Nigerians are not appreciative. Three times I was ambushed and jumped into the bush with my men and engaged the insurgents. My relationship with Olowu of Kuta is divine,” Buratai said.

Recall that ex-service chiefs, Gen Abayomi G. Olonisakin (Rtd ), Lt Gen Tukur Y. Buratai (Rtd), Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (Rtd), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar (Rtd), and Air Vice Marshal Mohammed S. Usman (Rtd), resigned their positions as the country’s security heads last week.

However, President Muhammadu Buhari immediately nominated the them as non-career ambassadors.

They were during the week confirmed as non-career ambassadors by the Senate

You actually have a point. But you also need to realise that Borno is not just Maiduguri. Besides that, it's still early days with the new guys. You should know that BH will increase their attacks in the early days to rattle the new guys and turn public perception against them. It's for them to strike back hot in response.
Let's give them some time.
