Junaid Mohammed Reacts As Buhari Claims Boko Haram Has Been Defeated

A Second Republic lawmaker, Junaid Mohammed, has reacted to the statement of President Muhammadu Buhari, where he claimed that the Boko Haram insurgents have been defeated in the North East.

Mohammed condemned the President for stating that it is left for Nigerians to judge if the terrorist attacks have been defeated or not.

President Buhari on Thursday while commissioning two Nigeria Air Force Agusta 109 Power Helicopters and Mi-17 E Helicopters at the Eagle Square said, “I want to, once again, salute the resolve of our Armed Forces and the invaluable contributions of all security agencies for their efforts towards the decimation of Boko Haram.”

Mohammed while speaking with newsmen noted that it takes more than mere words from the president to assure people that the Boko Haram attack is over.

“I think it takes more than just mere words or statements from either the service chiefs or the President for them to be assured that the long national nightmare of Boko Haram is over.” He said.
