Former Military President General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida has said that he has confidence in the ability of President Muhammadu Buhari to defeat Boko Haram so that Nigeria can truly assume her greatness in the comity of nations.

Babangida, in a Sallah message which he personally signed and released to journalists yesterday, enjoined all Nigerians to be strong in their unison against the insurgency.

He stressed the need to device new ways and means of confronting the insurgency, without making such initiatives public knowledge, expressing his belief that the media has a greater role to play in the management of information.

“On a good day, as is often said, the idea of taking some Boko Haram suspects and prisoners to Anambra State should not be public knowledge, if we are truly serious about information management,” he noted.

He called on the government to also cater for the families of the security personnel who died beyond what he called the present tokenism, noting that it would serve as incentive to others who are still in the trenches.

“The President, General Muhammadu Buhari as a Military Officer, understands the import of these altruistic suggestions and I trust that he will take steps to apply some of them that fit into the mainstream strategies already in place. The approach has to be a holistic one, well coordinated with full onslaught launched by the day and night to rout these insurgents to surrender.”

He said: “The renewed interest of the international communities in helping out with superior military hardware towards combating this menace is a welcome development. Our Islamic clerics should do more in their daily sermons to prevent new converts and recruits into this deadly group. Both religions preach the virtues of good and pious life tempered with the fear of God or Allah. We must continuously preach sermons that deliver the right messages to our people without ambiguity.”

I might not like IBB but these recommendations are on point.

We trust in God ; the end of bokoharam is here

Yeah we know Mr IBB. Hope your hands are clean ?

Its possible Buhari might defeat boko haram, it remains his pet project at the end of the day.

The competition amongst the media won't help matters they can destroy Nigeria just to make a HEADLINE! The recent presidential electioneering says it all.

So you say. Kindly provide proof that BH is PMB's "pet project". Or forever hold your peace!.

You guys need to always understand that you do not HAVE to comment on every topic.

It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open mouth and remove all doubts.

You also need to realise you don't have to butt sniff me all the time.

sure he will,if and only if he is nt one of the orchestrators

Baba is warming his way into Buhari's good books. He doesnt want to be probed.

Boko haram is fuelled by many factors,chief of which is poverty and ignorance.

Babangida was president of Nigeria for eight years and yet his region remains some of the poorest in the face of the earth.

Rather than preaching,he should make restitution and return Nigeria's stolen wealth

Hmmmmm! You're irredeemably foolish, you're already churning out excuses for when he ends this menace plaguing our beloved country...I still don't get why a fully grown up man like you can't contribute intelligently to any topic up for discussion, i don't believe it's a case of hate or ethno religious bias clouding your sense of decency as it is with Barcanista and his exco members, yours is simply a case of emptiness in it's worst form...e-ediot
Meanwhile, we're gonna win this war and the enemies of this nation shall bow their cursed heads in shame...
God Bless Nigeria/Nigerians

Sponsors of Boko Haram"""

IBB should just stay off from Mr President because they are part of the cause of the countries predicament !!!

,,even IBB is talking, do you think we have forgotten ur sins..better bounce back to the hole you came from

Wait for the wailers to come and rain curses on IBB. Taniods with no military training talking where the generals are. They claimed GEJ was having upper hand with BOKO haram, not knowing he was killing innocent civilians in a desperate attempt to win votes in the last election. We are aware of all the atrocities and AI confirmed it too.

Remind me to quote u whenever d need arises...and buhari f*cks up more...cause u have d tendency to disappear

I pray Boko harams are defeated for the sake of Nigerians but I doubt if Buhari is even serious about fighting BH. He's more interested in compensating the terrorists in the name of Amnesty and negotiation.
