The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has counseled Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed to desist from telling Nigerians lie on the security situation in the country.

Incessant attack by Boko Haram terrorists has peaked inn recent times with Babagana Zulum, Borno state governor suffering attacs on three occasions while his security aides were killed.  

However, the Minister recently said his position in 2015 that Boko Haram had been technically defeated was based on what he saw on the ground when he led a team of local and international journalists to the epicentre of insurgency.

“I stand by what I said that Boko Haram is technically defeated. What we are having today is global terrorism where you have the ISIS, ISWAP Al-qaeda all working together,”.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Kola Ologbondiyan, national publicity secretary of the PDP said the Minister has been economical with the truth on the issue of insecurity in the country.

“Alhaji Lai Mohammed is the Minister of Information. So, he will want to say what Mr. President and the public will want to hear such as Boko Haram has been technically defeated. But Nigerians know the reality that the government of President Buhari has failed on its promise to secure our nation. That is the truth and how they want to receive  it is a different thing entirely”.

“That is why many Nigerians including members of the National Assembly have appealed for a rejig of the security architecture of the country which they  believe will go a long way  in helping the security situation of the country. But the manifest failure of this government in the area of security is very clear for everyone to see”.

“Alhaji Lai Mohammed is only saying what the President wants to  hear . He says anything to suit the government but Nigerians who know he is not saying the truth about the situation of things. That is why Nigerians are teling the President to take practical actions and take the issue of security more responsibly.’

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said on Wednesday that the Nigerian military had met the December deadline to defeat the Boko Haram terrorists.

The minister said this during his maiden meeting with editorial heads of media houses in Lagos.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that President Mohammadu Buhari had, upon assuming office, issued a December 31 deadline to the military to defeat the Boko Haram terrorists.


“Today, I can report that the war against Boko Haram is largely won.

“I can confidently say this because just recently, I led a group of 33 journalists from both the local and international media to the hot bed of the insurgency, that is, Maiduguri, Kondugua, Kaoure and Bama.

“Today, I can report to you that the entire 70 plus kilometres stretch from Maiduguri to Bama and all the way to Banki which leads to Cameroun and the Central African Republic are in the hands of our gallant troops.”

He said the military presence could be felt ”every few metres along the road; at a point along that road we were just a kilometre to Sambisa forest.


“They have so degraded the capacity of Boko Haram that the terrorists can no longer hold on to any territory just as they can no longer carry out any spectacular attack.”

Mohammed, however, said that though there were still cases of suicide bombings, it was pertinent to note that such was the nature if insurgency globally.

“Unlike a war between two armies, an insurgency never ends with arms victory

“Even in countries like Colombia where insurgency was supposed to have ended decades ago, attacks like this still happen.”

He said that the insurgents had adopted a new style of attacking soft targets like motor parks, schools, entertainment centres, religious centres, killing innocent people mostly women and children.
