OHANEZE QUIZZES FG ON BILLIONS SPENT ON BOKO HARAM

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has asked the Federal government to explain to Nigerians what and how they used the one billion dollars it appropriated for the war against Boko Haram.

Ohanaeze made this known in a statement released by the deputy National publicity secretary, Mazi Chuks Ibegbu. The group stated that the rate of killings of Nigerian soldiers at the war front is unbecoming.

The statement read, “These soldiers complain of poor weapons and lack of proper welfare, so where are the billions the federal government claim to be spending in the war against corruption, which of course, politicians and religious and fundamentalists created.”

“These dying soldiers are children, brothers, sisters’ cousins and friends of people. They must not be allowed to be dying like flies in the North East.

“And my worry is that we are busy politicking while these young men and women are sacrificial lambs of a war they hardly know the cause. And top officers make lots money out of this war, while some politicians and military chiefs would even want the war not to end to continue fattening their deeply leaking pockets.”

“This will make Nigerians to be sympathetic to their plights. Soldiers win wars when they have public support and sympathy. But the attitude of Nigerian soldiers alienate ordinary citizens from them,” it said.
