The attack against the insurgents was in retaliation for an ambush which killed over 90 soldiers.However, Momoh, one of the national leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress said Buhari as the Commander-in- Chief of the armed forces does not need to lead the troops as he can monitor the military from anywhere in Nigeria.
Speaking with Independent, Momoh said: “Every country has its own priorities. The fact that President Deby led Chadian troops to fight Boko Haram doesn’t mean he is at the war front and shooting guns. He was in the helicopter following them from place to place and they dealt with Boko Haram “Buhari is the Commander-in-Chief and can monitor our military wherever he is. Why should he go and lead the war himself? Is it because he was a military president? What if he is a civilian president?“Boko Haram has been attacking Nigeria from Chad but when they now attacked Chadian army, the President had to lead the Chadian and retaliate.
Why can't the Nigerian government invite them to assist our military since they are specialized in guerilla warfare or even complement their efforts? una must defend buhari, na APC way Sha, always giving excuses
Useless and heartless politicians
Total disgraceful defence by Tony Momoh. ! Real wars are not stage managed inside Aso rock.!!
If Idris Derby as CNC of Chad can lead his army to fight boko haram, why can't Buhari do same? 'Cowards die many times before their death' - Julius Caesar
Dirty minded old man.
In the eighties, our soldiers were in the desert flushing out Chadian soldiers. Billions have been spent on security. Yet, our soldiers lack experience in desert and guirrila warfare. No I am not in support of the president being at the front.
Mr. Momoh is just talking TRASH, full STOP🛑. Mbuhari was rtd army general so also Idriss Derby, who also has service chiefs as MBuhari, Bauchi and Yobe states are Sahel desert regions, why can’t Ngr military train in the desert area as guerrilla fighters to match B/H
I wonder what you tell your children about honesty and saying something the way they are. In your attempt to defend the president you have open more ways to ask questions begging for answer. From Training, provision is arms and ammunition to leadership quality as once a general.
his hands are not clean
Upon the billions of Naira from Nigeria government purse to fight insurgence it's lky waste b/c d the achievement recorded by Nigeria Army is every low, at d end we saw pardon given to BokoHaramp pple, and aiming to send them abroad 4 schooling which they believe is abomination.
He can't emulate them because while they are against the actions of the Book Haram, he is in support. Thus, they will fight while he will protect Boko Haram.
Quality of good leadership is to lead by example.
Sometimes, it's good to read beyond the headlines. Terrible comments that belittles the Nigerian Army's capacity to defeat Boko Haram. The statements highlighted that the Chadian army are better trained in gorilla warfare and better equipped than the Nigerian army. Sad!
Infantry General dey fear war! Excuse, excuses!
Because he’s soft
Chadi they are the one camping boko haram now that they've started attacking them that's why they're all after them even the boko haram members they claimed to be killed was it not in chad territory?
He is fragile and too old.
we have the Chief of Defence Staff and the Service Chiefs who head different operations; we also have commanders of different sectors. Which of them will Buhari lead. You are talking trash sir. Cant him tell them to relocate to the scene place, must they seat in Abuja wit him
Not this unpatriotic , unatiolanistic, myopic and sentimental opinion he’s giving us here 🤦🏽♂️... This goes to show us most of our leaders are either empty headed, uninformed or outdated
This momoh no sabi justify issues sef... He could have simply said... “the Nigerian govt spends more than the Chadian govt on our army... Therefore whom more is given, much is expected. The president don’t have to be there since he’s already met their provisions in the budget..
Dont tell us ,we already know why.
Is boohary not a retired army general, you are talking rubbish. Listen jack! Boohary should even carry gun to really motivate our soldiers
How do Nigerians expect Buhari to fight against his own group....
How do you expect him to emulate the Chadian President, MBuhari the FOUNDER of BOKO HARAM
He is scared to die for the people
If Buhari cannot lead, let Buratai lead!!!!
Is it impossible to train Nigerian soldiers in 5 years of MBuhari regime in desert & guerilla warfare if that's the means by which Nigeria would conquer Boko Haram?
Momoh spoke the truth bc Buhari is dead can only lead from any where as a spirit, Jubril can’t, Chadian army better trained n well equipped than Naija soldiers hence the success. You have vindicated MNKanu. God bless you for the truth.
Let this political momoh keep quiet and stop saying rubbish that will dent the image of the nation in the international World. Are there not fund voted for security in the country. What are used for. Did BUHARI not take the oath to secure the lives and property of Nigerians.
It’s because..👇👇
Of course I don’t expect Buhari to lead the army in this war cos he has commanders capable. But Mr. Momoh are you not ashamed to be saying that Chadian army are better trained than ours? Even with all the resources at our disposal. cluelessminds
Buhari said during his campaign, that he would personally lead the attack against the insurgents.
Very stupid reason. A president that's well vast in military should be able to carry out a successful plan and bring it to achievement. But instead the president is watching is fellow soldiers dying due to lack of weapons. What a shameful president we have. Do more for ur people.
U are talking in the nonsense
These people are very dumb!
This old fool why do you still talk ? I don’t don’t anyone expects anything from your Buhari anymore
Who is boko haram..is it not buhari people
What Contradictions did I just read from APC Chieftain ? ..that Chadian Army is better trained, better equipped, that Chadian spent more on their armed forces than Nigeria ?
If Buhari lead the army, victory is ours, let him lead the army since he is a general before.
Just imagine these pathetic excuses of an old man who wants to Emulate Lifeless, Olodo, Inept, Mannequin or Scarecrow? nobody wants to associate with FAILURE....
Daily post reporter should have not interviewed Momoh for what is in the mind of the president. The president can speak for himself
Momoh, only the living can monitor from situation room..... Word!
How could Buhari be able to emulate chad president when he is very stubborn?Nigerian army lack appropriate support and weapons to fight against boko haram and Buhari subordinate are not doing well but he can't give them query.
People like Momoh are the reason we are failing. Disregarding the fact and preaching falsehood in the name protecting their party. Let's for once put the interest of our dear nation first and put our personal interest aside.
Absolute trash
Why will he emulate him.. What is the essence of the soldiers?
I think He is sympathizing with those terrorist.
Lol this people hahaha just see nonsense update
Talk less of emulating Chadian President
Do we even have a president?
