This is why Buhari sacked the service chiefs

President Buhari’s sacking of the country’s service chiefs is believed to be related with his forthcoming trip to the United States.

Vanguard reports that its sources disclosed that their termination became necessary due to the fact the he (the president) would be posed some questions about the terrorism challenges as well as Nigeria’s military capability to tackle the Boko Haram insurgency.

The Buhari administration is said to have been told that the Obama administration will inquire why Boko Haram was still on rampage after so much money had been spent on the war against insurgency.

Vanguard’s source was quoted to have said:

“America will ask President Buhari why the Military Commanders (Sacked Service Chiefs) were still in place, when after several months of being in control and getting huge financial support from the Jonathan administration, Boko Haram is still biting hard.

They will present Buhari with the figures and ask how this huge amount of money was spent, and for what purposes? Why is the result not showing? This is because America will tell President Buhari pointblank, that we have a package to assist you conquer this menace but it will be on the grounds that you have a new team with thinking faculty, a team that is tested and will spare no effort in ending the Boko Haram mayhem.

Furthermore, the source reportedly said that with the sacking of the service chiefs, President Buhari will now be to tell Obama that: “I have a new team in place. Trusted, with integrity, and primed to actualize my mission of ending Boko haram insurgency”.

“Buhari will tell the Americans that he has set machinery in motion to investigate how the huge amount of money so far released to fight insurgency was spent and why after such releases to the security agencies, many of the equipment promised, to deal with Boko Haram, are nowhere to be seen. President Buhari will also show the Americans a blueprint of how he intends to employ new resources improve and equip the armed forces, putting in mind accountability, to ensure that any suspected corrupt tendencies are nipped in the bud.”
