Former Head of State, General Muhamadu Buhari (rtd) has said that the Nigerian military should not be blamed for not being able to crush the Boko Haram insurgency ravaging parts of the northeast of Nigeria.
The military, he said, are ill equipped despite the abundance of wealth being wasted on trivial issues by the government in power.
The former military leader spoke at the weekend in Enugu while addressing the states delegates of All Progressives Congress (APC) to the forthcoming presidential primaries of the party.
Buhari , a leading presidential aspirant in APC, told the delegates that “soldiers have been complaining that they are ill equipped, in spite of the trillions spent on defence budget in the last three years.”
