Buhari spoke on Friday at a campaign rally at the Ibrahim Babangida Square in Makurdi, the Benue State capital,saying when voted into power,all that would be a thing of the past ..

“It is unfortunate that despite the trillions of naira the government has been voting for security in the last four years, our military men today cannot fight Boko Haram.

“The morale of the military, police and other law enforcement agencies is very low, otherwise how can our soldiers go and grant interviews to the press that they cannot fight Boko Haram? Go and see the trillions of naira voted for security in the last four years for weapons and training, yet, insurgents are clamping down on our soldiers.
