As President Muhammadu Buhari looks into the Boko Haram war efforts of
the last administration, information has emerged that Nigeria’s
traditional allies in the West deliberately frustrated the efforts of
former President Goodluck Jonathan’s, towards bringing an end to
terrorists’ activities in the country.
A security source
disclosed in Abuja that Nigeria, during Jonathan’s administration, 25
letters were written to the United States of America and other Western
nations, seeking to acquire weapons to combat the terrorists, but they
all turned down the requests.
“What was most painful was
the fact that Nigeria was not begging to be given those weapons as
gifts. We were ready to pay for them but they turned their backs on us
when we needed them most.“ The same people who made all the promises
about assisting us to bring an end to the Boko Haram attacks and bring
back the abducted Chibok girls did everything they could to frustrate
our efforts. “A conclusion was reached that the nation would suffer more
devastation should she continue to beg those we regarded as our friends
when things were going on well with us. It was at that point that the
nation had to look elsewhere, especially towards the East and Asia”, he
said.
