Former Head of State, Gen Yakubu Gowon has said that the deadline given to the military to defeat Boko Haram and end terrorist activities is not sacrosanct.
He spoke in Abakaliki on Tuesday during a working visit to Gov Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State.
His words;
“I can tell you this; nobody can really talk about when any particular operation is going to end. And as a (former) commander-in- chief, I know this.
“Yes, you can say you target a particular time, but it may finish before that time or it may go slightly beyond. To end it, that is the most important thing.
“I assure you that I have absolute confidence in our military that they are going to really deal with the situation as they are doing at the moment.
“May the spirits of these poor little children who are being brainwashed to carry out such heinous crimes rest in peace."
