Nigeria’s defence minister, Brigadier- General (rtd) Mansur Mohammed Dan-Ali yesterday assured that Boko Haram will be defeated by the December deadline given to the military by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Dan-Ali gave the assurance during a public hearing organised by the Senate Committee on Appropriation to consider the request of President Muhammadu Buhari for a N465 billion supplementary budget.

The minister of Defence assured the Senate Committee that budgetary allocation to the ministry will be utilised to achieve the December deadline.

“We are going to ensure that the budgetary allocation given to us as Ministry of Defence is utilised to get the maximum eradication of insurgency in our territory.

“Insurgency is not something that can be removed within a day. All we are saying is that we will ensure that maximum security will be achieved within the time frame given to us,” Dan-Ali told the Danjuma Goje-led Senate Committee.

Why Boko Haram Has Not Been Defeated- Emir Sanusi

Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II has said Boko Haram has not been defeated because the undercover and the physical security agencies are working in parallel line.

Emir Sanusi, who spoke in Abuja yesterday at the second edition of the Nigeria Security Exhibition and Conference, added that deplorable conditions at the Internally Displaced Peoples’ camps may force some of the refugees to join Boko Haram.

Represented by the Katukan Kano and District Head of Albasu, retired AIG Bashiru Albasu, Emir Sanusi said Nigeria could not succeed in its fight against terrorism if the agencies in charge of intelligence gathering and other security agencies like police and the military are not cooperating between themselves.

The emir said rather than cooperating between themselves, the intelligence gathering agencies and the physical security agencies are engaged in “superiority fight.”

How We Defeated Jonathan- Tinubu

APC, leader Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, yesterday, attributed the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan in the last presidential election to a commonsense revolution anchored on a rebellion against the excesses of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

He spoke at a book launch in Lagos where Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka extolled him, and Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State as the drivers of the uprising, which he said, was fast-tracked by President Jonathan’s mishandling of the Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF crisis.

The public presentation of the book “Dynamics of Change: The Amaechi Years”, was witnessed by a cross section of the political class and civil society including governors, former governors, senators among others. Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte, who was chairman of the occasion, said the book only offered a glimpse into the vision that stimulated the infrastructure and developments during the Amaechi years in Rivers State.

Amaechi on his part gave a peep into his political challenges, noting how even when he got Tinubu angry before the APC convention, both men set aside their issues for the common goal of achieving victory in the elections that were yet to be held at that time.
