Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, has revealed his conversation with an unnamed retired General over the fall of Sambisa forest, the last stronghold of the Boko Haram sect.
Fani-Kayode, in the conversation he sent to DAILY POST Monday evening, noted that the claim by the Nigerian
government that Boko Haram had fallen was a lie. His words is reproduced unedited below;
“A retired General shared this perspective with me. He said the recent noise about defeat of BHT (Boko Haram
terrorists is so deceptive.
“It must be noted as a mission in furtherance of their belief and propaganda to achieve 2 things. First to vindicate Islam by presenting it as not being responsible for all the evil done by this terrible Jihadists movement.
“He had devoted a substantial portion of his inaugural speech in trumpeting this deception. Much of what he had to say there was to insist that Islam was not responsible for the atrocities.
“That message was more of an imam’s speech. The fact is that the last regime had already positioned the military to
finally destroy the BHT even while the tyrant & his APC were busy encouraging & profiting from the exploits of the
evil organisation.
“Secondly, himself, his party & many Muslim fanatic military officers who were so committed to sabotaging the
counter-terrorist operations under Jonathan were mainly concerned that, Jonathan, an ‘infidel’ must not be credited
with defeating an organisation identified with Islam.
“This to them would be an unacceptable aberration. Most of those officers sabotaging the operations under last
leadership eventually became the earliest appointees to command in the NA (Nigeria Army) as soon as the tyrant
assumed power.
“People fail to ask what really is his tangible strategic input of this tyrant to this defeat of BHT that he so much wants
to be credited with? All the equipment used were procured by last regime. All the Special forces were trained under last regime.
“The MNJTF was an idea fully packaged by last regime. The massive recruitment, retraining & restructuring of NA all
under last regime. The efforts to restore discipline which opposition politicians worked to undermine & incite was also not by this wicked regime of propagandists.
“In actual fact, part of the reasons anger of the tyrant’s regime agsinst Dasuki & leadership of military under Jonathan was because of the totality the efforts to roundly defeat BHT & terrorism in Nigeria.
“This is the background & the true narrative of the much noised December 2016 victory over BHT. I wish this
understanding is available to Nigerians & historian on our nation’s travails.”
