Senator-elect for Ondo South Senatorial District Jimoh Ibrahim has said the Boko Haram insurgency is a political problem and asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Ibrahim who featured on Channels Television’s Politics Today said, “Boko Haram is a political problem. You have to socialise politically to solve Boko Haram. The first thing Mr President has to do is to withdraw soldiers from the front and return them to the barracks.”
He said the “children who left the Nigerian Defence Academy as lieutenants have become major-generals and the war is still there. Is the military a challenge to itself? No!” As Nigerian authorities have been battling insurgency for over a decade, the senator-elect said the military had been deploying a conventional strategy to an unconventional war.
He blamed the alleged failure in the fight against terrorism on the strategy deployed by the authorities in the North East zone.
