Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo has said an end would not be put to Boko Haram by the military, stating that it was necessary that President Muhammadu Buhari gave the military a target.
“You have to have an objective, otherwise, if you say go and don’t have an objective, that’s not good enough for a leader but an objective is not cast in concrete.
Look, I want you to finish a job in two days, though you know it could take probably four or five days, but you must give an objective.
“I believe that what President Muhammadu Buhari will get, and which he knows he can get, is that he can get the upper hand; the military will get the upper hand over Boko Haram and of course, I think we are working towards that.
But we will not get the end of Boko Haram in three months or in six months.
“And even when you get the upper hand militarily, you have to do what you have to do – the socio-economic aspect.”
