When asked how he felt about the postponement the election,
Gen. Buhari said “Well my reaction is
that of disappointment because, the presentation made by Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) was that they were ready to conduct the election on
the date they fixed a year ago and for them to be forced virtually by the
military that, they cannot guarantee the safety of their workers, they have to
concede to the demand of the military of additional 6 weeks, now since that 6
weeks is within the constitutional time allowed, this is was we came and asked
our supporters to remain calm and resolute and obey the laws"
On why the military has not been able to take on Boko Haram, he said “Well
this has been made much clearer, when the National Assembly attempted to
conduct a hearing after soldiers were given interview to hold on the media
about being sent to the war without proper weapons, the National Assembly
attempted to conduct a hearing a hearing by getting the budget approved by the
National Assembly over the last 3 years and invite their service chief to come
and tell them why is it the weapons were not produced and sent to the soldiers.
So it shows the misapplication or misappropriation of resources provided by the
government to what consist why the Nigeria military was unable to defeat Boko
Haram”
On his endorsement by Obasanjo ,he said that the endorsement will bring more supporters to him especially those sitting on the fence, he also said that Gen Olusegun Obasanjo is highly respected in Nigeria.
Then when asked if he will be a dictator, he said it would
be a harsh judgment on him individually with people thinking that what happened
in the military rule will be extended to a democratic rule.
While also asked about defeating Boko Haram and corruption,
he said, he thinks that the APC government will be able to defeat the
insurgents. Theon corruption, he said there is no option but to tackle
corruption if not, it will kill Nigeria.
