Former Head of Military Ruler and Chieftain of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Major General Muhammadu Buhari has asked the Federal Government to stop the clampdown on Boko Haram insurgents, saying Niger Delta militants were never killed or properties belonging to them destroyed.

Buhari who spoke on Sunday on a Liberty Radio programme, Guest of the Week, accused the government of killing and destroying houses belonging to Boko Haram members while the Niger Delta militants get special treatment.

The former dictator said that unlike the special treatment given to the Niger Delta militants by the federal government, the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished by government.

While accusing President Jonathan of failing from the beginning to address the security situation in the country, Buhari said he has never been in support of the state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa state.

According to Buhari “what is responsible for the security situation in the country is caused by the activities of Niger Delta militants. Every Nigerian that is familiar with what is happening knows this. The Niger Delta militants started it all.

“What happened is that the governors of the Niger Delta region at that time wanted to win their elections. So they recruited the youths and gave them guns and bullets and used them against their opponents to win elections by force.

“After the elections were over, they asked the boys to return the guns; the boys refused to return the guns. Because of that, the allowance that was being given to the youths by the governors during that time was stopped.

“The youths resorted to kidnapping oil workers and were collecting dollars as ransom. Now a boy of 18 to 20 years was getting about 500 dollars in a week, why will he go to school and spend 20 years to study and then come back and get employed by government to be paid N100,000 a month, that is if he is lucky to get employment.

“So kidnapping becomes very rampant in the South -South and the South -East. They kidnapped people and were collecting money.

“How did Boko Haram start? We know that their leader, Mohammed Yusuf started his militant and the police couldn’t control them and the army was invited. He was arrested by soldiers and handed over to the police.

“The appropriate thing to do, according to the law, was for the police to carry out investigations and charge him to court for prosecution, but they killed him, his in-law was killed, they went and demolished their houses.

“Because of that, his supporters resorted to what they are doing today.

You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua sent an aeroplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they were given money and granted amnesty.

“They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north were being killed and their houses were being demolished.

They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice”.

Ok

According to Buhari, SS and SE youths engage in kidnapping because it's more lucrative than government employment. But he didn't tell us why his people refuse to go to school but wallow in illiteracy.

Now, between Ihejirika and Buhari, who should be called a Boko Haram Sponsor?

Everybody seems to have a point this days.

Is this man crazy? why is he comparing these animals, with N.D millitant?
Federal Government should arrest this boko haram sponsor, he is no longer hiding it. he has said it all.

The real BOKO Harams supporters and sponsors are now knowned. Buhari should be arrested.

This man has just nailed and buried the coffin that carried the few chances APC had

can someone confirm this news ,if it's true ?though I am not surprised that Buhari is a supporter of Boko Haram.
what have all APC supporters have to say now ?I wait to see APC supporters defend Buhari on this issue .
Can any reasonable Nigerian support APC again if truly Buhari said all these? Oh my God,the APC is dead .
Nemesis have caught up with APC.
but,yet ,is hard to believe that ,Buhari a former head of State, said this, honestly is difficult to believe .

this guy dey craze fa
