Buhari’s exemplary punches on Boko Haram insurgency Read more at:
Public affairs analyst, John C. Maxwell, once echoed that “The best leaders are readers of people. They have the intuitive ability to understand others by discerning how they feel and recognizing what they sense.” President Muhammadu Buhari is one such archetypal leader whose one unyielding obsession was Boko Haram insurgency when he emerged as Nigeria’s democratic leader in 2015.President Buhari knew Nigeria was under suffocating siege by Boko Haram insurgency.
A United Nations report estimated that over 2.4 million Nigerians were displaced by Boko Haram insurgency. In a media interview in 2013, the then President Goodluck Jonathan said, Boko Haram insurgency has claimed the lives of over 13, 000 Nigerians. Buhari stated in his speech that, “The command centre will be relocated to Maiduguri and remain until Boko Haram is completely subdued. But we cannot claim to have defeated Boko Haram without rescuing the Chibok girls and all other innocent persons held hostage by insurgents.”
Therefore, President Buhari’s rejig of the Military’s top echelon was a major setback to the terrorists, who were persistently assailed and defiantly by Nigerian troops on the battlefield. Gen. Buratai migrated the counter-insurgency war to the doorstep of the terrorists and begun to record streaks of victories for Nigeria.
