President-elect Buhari has berated the military for enlisting foreign mercenaries to fight Boko Haram.
According to Vanguard, he spoke in Kaduna while hosting the National Executive Council of the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF.

The military has never been so incapacitated like now. It is a shame that the Military cannot secure 14 out of the 774 local governments in the country.
“What is more worrisome is the fact that Nigeria’s military has to rely on South African mercenaries before it could gain recent success in the war against Boko Haram. This situation is shameful and unacceptable.
“My administration will concentrate on three major areas on assumption of office, that is insecurity, the economy/unemployment and corruption. We will ensure we nip insecurity in the bud.”
