President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Abuja noted that the inability of the Nigerian military to eradicate Boko Haram was due to corruption.

In a meeting with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Dr. Ahmed El-Tayeb, President Buhari stated  that the loss of 14 local government areas to Boko Haram had greatly ruined the reputation of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

The President noted that his Administration had put in place measures to curb corruption and provide better weaponry, logistics, training and welfare for soldiers on the frontlines, in effect, the Nigerian military has almost totally incapacitated Boko Haram as a fighting force and recovered all territories that were lost to the terrorist sect.

The President’s words;

“When we curbed corruption and removed the  injustice in the military, we began to make progress,”

Muslims worldwide are in support of  Nigeria’s war against Boko Haram, the President said that the war against terrorism was also a war against injustice, which is not condoned by Islam and all the major religions.

“You can’t kill the innocent in churches or in mosques and shout Allahu Akbar,” President Buhari said, adding that the visit of Dr. El-TAYEB and his expression of solidarity with Nigeria in the war against terrorism  shows how supportiveMuslim around the globe are to  Nigeria against the unjust killing of the innocent by terrorists.

The President, who stated that his Administration’s resolve to resettle all persons who were displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency will not change, was gratefull to the Grand Imam for the donation of scholarships, educational and medical supplies to Nigeria’s Internally Displaced Persons.

Dr. El-Tayeb told President Buhari that Muslims all over the world are deeply concerned about Nigeria’s pains from terrorism and will continue to support efforts to ensure that peace and unity reigns amongst all faiths in the country.
