Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan nathan has said that the progress being recorded by the present administration in the war against Boko Haram is on built on the solid foundation that he left behind.
He said that the Buhari administration has not procurement any weapons but has been relying on the equipment he bought to prosecute its counter-insurgency operations.
Jonathan told Paris based France 24 on Wednesday that he laid the groundwork for the successes being recorded by the military against Boko Haram.
“... you know the new government is working hard and I believe they are still using the equipment we procured.
“The 2016 budget is still being debated and no new equipment has been bought. So, even what the new government is still using to prosecute the war is the equipment we procured. I believe that with what we left behind, and the new ones they would acquire, this issue of Boko Haram will be taken to a logical conclusion,” he said.
The former president however declined to comment on the Buhari administration.
“Please, please, I have said that I will not comment on these areas because they are sensitive areas and I wouldn’t want to create problems for my country.
“I cannot comment on what is happening now. It is not proper for a former president to be commenting, either positive or negative,” he said.
