Fight Against Boko haram Not Yet Over - General

Date: 2016-09-23

A Security Consultant and Former General Officer Commanding one Mechanized Division in the Nigerian Army, Retired Major General Garba Ayodele Wahab has cautioned Nigerians not to see the fight against the Boko Haram sect as over.

According to him, the battle against the insurgents is being well tackled but not totally won yet.

General Wahab made these submissions in Ilorin, the Kwara State Capital, while answering questions on a Radio Kwara personality interview programme, "Playing Host".

The Retired General said other members of the militant groups are still around most countries especially the Islamic states in Iraq and Syria and since they are being dislodged from those countries to places like Libya, Nigeria must be very cautions and careful.

General Wahab said the fight against militancy was not the sole responsibilities of the Army and other security agencies, but called for integrated approach to solve the problem with the media, the Non-Governmental Organization's and government agencies playing pivotal roles.

The former GOC said the present insecurity the nation is facing was as a result of globalization which is the fall out of liberalization and democracy when the Americans and Britons were using force in countries that were not ready to accept democracy.

The Retired General disclosed that he has no regret joining the Nigerian Army and commended the government for the opportunity given to him to be well trained and exposed on his military career, adding that he had a wonderful and fulfilled experience.

Answering another question, General Wahab advocated the creation of a grazing reserve or ranches for the Fulani herdsmen to rear their cattle explaining that most of their initial routes had been taken over by new roads due to development.

On the dwindling economy the nation is now facing, the Security Consultant said the present security challenges was part of it and called on the people to go back to the basis and avoid total dependence on the government.

General Wahab appealed to Nigerians to be patient in the fight against corruption, adding that it would take time to rebuild a system that has been destroyed for long.
