“Terrorism may persist for another 20 Years” Chief of army staff, Lt. Gen. Buratai, come under attack for saying

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. TUKUR BURATAI, has come under attack for saying terrorism may persist for another 20 years in the country.

A former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator SHEHU SANI has lambasted TUKUR BURATAI for the comment.

The army chief had made the statement just days after over 43 rice farmers were killed by Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.

Reacting, the former lawmaker, who tweeted on his verified Twitter handle, said the statement by BURATAI showed the ‘bankruptcy of new ideas and strategies’ to win the insurgency war.

SHEHU SANI wondered why BURATAI could say to Nigerians that the insurgencies will last twenty more years after repeatedly misleading claims of victories against the insurgents.

Boko Haram insurgency: Retired generals, NEF, others warn against hiring mercenaries

The calls by Borno state Governor, BABAGANA ZULUM and some Senators on the federal government to hire mercenaries to clear the remnant of Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East have been attracting reactions.

This is because some retired generals and socio-political groups have faulted the call saying the country is capable of defending itself.

The recent brutal killings of 43 rice farmers at Kwashebe village in Borno State necessitate the call.

A former Chief of Defence Staff, JOSHUA DOGONYARO and a former General Officer Commanding, 1 Division, Major General ABIODUN ROLE in an interview said what the military needed was ammunitions to execute the war.

According to them, the military also required support of the citizens including the media, to help in the asymmetrical war.

Also, socio-political groups, including the Northern Elders’ Forum, and the Coalition of Northern Groups, have also kicked against faulted move.
