The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai on Wednessday said the army has strong evidence against politicians sponsoring bandits, kidnapping and other forms of criminality in the country.

Lt. Gen. Buratai stated this while receiving the Chairman House Committe on the Army after visiting Maimanlari cementary to honor fallen heros in Maiduguri on Wednessday.

He said: ''The myraid of security challenges we are facing right now in the northwest, north central and other parts of the country, I want to believe and rightly so that it is a fallout of the just concluded general election.

"There are political class intrests, politicians in particular who saw their defeats as a way of trying to revenge, sponsoring these criminal activities even the bandits, the farmers and herders.

"There are strong political undertones and strong political influnces including (in these) kidnappings.

"We use this opportunity to call on the chairman house committee on army to prevail on some of these politicains, to really look at national intrest first, before any political or sectional intrest.

"We have some strong evidence but we are still being conscious so that we don't get it wrong but the best is to advice these politicians.

"The threat by boko haram is quite real, they have been dealt with but they are still much around. In terms of their various soft target attacks on some military locations, right now Boko haram terrorists are on the run but because of the resilient nature of terrorism they are always trying to score points to shows that they are much around."

Most useless army chief in the world. He'd blame everything except his incompetence. Meanwhile, he's enjoying rents from his two hotels in Dubai, niceeee.

These people think they know too much, why wouldn't they just act?

Always finding excuses!
Something in me always tell me that all of u knows the ppl sponsoring Boko haram, fulani herdsmen ect yet you kept quiet and allow our young soldiers to die Just like that.

why not arrest all their sponsors and it will end all this insecurities we have in this country.?

In fact Brutai, you are one of Nigeria's problems. For knowing the truth yet you sent our innocent soliders to die in the name of war is a crime. If only your son will be posted to lead the fight then the truth will come out.

Oga, do your job and stop giving excuses!

For the records, the Lifeless dry leaf holds the title of the all-time most defeated politician.

Losing back to back to Obj, Yar' Adua and GEJ.


Great Ovedje Ogboru of Delta state comes close. Please be the Judge Buratai.

This one can now clearly see how useless and senseless he is and has always been!

Very unfortunate comment from the head of the Army.

How this man take pass NDA exam?I sure say Na man know man basis he take get automatic enlistment.He is so incompetent.

And you toy soldiers cant do anything about it.

If is unarmed civilians they will start flexin their tin muscles.

.

Very bad decision

Tell your Oga Buharig to return the people’s mandate to the rightful owner and stop making excuses

Why is he telling us, are we to arrest them or what?

This is the most embarrassing comment from the head of military. are you telling us it is above you?? Are you there to give excuses or to act ? most you address media to clam your inability to address situation on ground .it is a sorry case .

Of course said this many times.

i totally disagree with the Army chief here...if you say its defeated politicians, then they are the opposition which the government can easily apprehend, so why are they still sponsoring the bandits and the gov't is not doing anything?
please don't use any politician as excuse for failures.....if you cant fit in to situations or curb them, just resign

and idiotic pigs are rejoicing for the criminal politicians sponsoring the crisis

That this category of angel of death and harbinger of sorrow and shame have not been relieved of their position and investigated for their conspiracies and gross irresponsibility is a serious poser to our psyche as a normal people in this nation

I agree... as a matter of fact you can say all the opposition parties and also all the Northern Elites.

Is this why Buhari/Federal government is supporting the herdsman and asking Nigerians to donate their land to the herdsmen for peace to reign?

Nigerian Soldiers have not arrested or prosecuted one Fulani herdsmen for killing thousands of Nigeria
