Buhari, to lead the war against Boko Haram.I want to ask you a question, a retired 73-year-old General ...can he run? No!
“Okay, let’s assume that he can run; how many metres can he run before he falls? The training of a General that retired in 1985 is it the same training that can address a modern war? No!So what exactly has our PHD president achieved in his fight against Boko Haram? We can't even count how many times Boko Haram have killed Nigerians,and this man is talking such nonsense. Absolutely clueless.
“Now we are fighting war with drones, with new ideas that our President, a PhD holder, a scientist that is using (his knowledge) to address the security issues of this country.
