Osinbajo says GMB will lead by example by visiting the
places insurgents are terrorizing and not looking from the rear. He also
disclosed how the APC-led government would rescue the over 200 female students
of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, seized since April 14
2014. Continue below…
“The first priority is security and to question what has
gone wrong in the military. Then, funding the military adequately and ensuring
that the Commander-In-Chief leads from the front. But when he was
Commander-In-Chief, Buhari led from the front as a soldier. You cannot lead
from the rear. You cannot fail to go to where the insurgency is taking place
and that is what Buhari has been saying.
“I think that the major problem with the question of
security is again that it was not prioritised by this government. It was not
taken seriously enough from the beginning. When you have a situation, you do
not politicise the insurgency like that. You do not point to the opposition and
say it is the opposition that is sponsoring it until General Buhari almost lost
his life when Boko Haram attacked him.
“We must start by understanding that there is a war going on
in that part of the country and what the government need to do is to get the
nation behind it, not pointing accusing fingers at wrong places.
“We need to look at the whole question of funding and
equipping the military. The military at the moment is not equipped. I worked
with Femi Falana on the mutiny of some solders and what is the complaint of
those soldiers who were charged with mutiny? Their complaint is that they were
not given equipment and they wanted them to go to battle. So, how do you say
that? How does anybody think that you can fight the insurgents without
ammunitions?”, he said.
According to him, the APC will run a transparent government
where public officials would be accountable to the people.
