Jonathan’s Government Caused Soldiers Mutiny – President Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari says the actions and inaction of the administration of his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan led soldiers of the Nigerian Army to mutiny.

He said Jonathan’s government chose to divert funds earmarked for arms procurement, while soldiers were sent to the theatre of war without arms and ammunition.

In an interview he granted the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation, the President said the investigation into the arms funds diversion conspiracy, has shown that the officials of the past government shared the money.

“We investigated and discovered how funds that were pencilled down for arms procurement were diverted and shared by government officials who served the last administration.”

“The government at that time sent the soldiers to the battlefield without arms and ammunition to prosecute the war. That was what led some of them to mutiny. They were arrested and detained because of this.”

Speaking on the ongoing effort to flush out Boko Haram,the President said the Army is making significant progress in the war, stressing that the insurgents now lack the capability to carry out major attacks.

“If people are going to be fair to us, they themselves know that the Army is winning the war.”

“You can no longer find any huge number of Boko Haram members in Adamawa and Yobe; only may be, in about three local governments of Borno in the area around our borders with Chad Republic. They are no longer in position to threaten the country, so we have won.”
