The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to deploy more soldiers and other security agents to trouble spot in the North-East than keep them for the 2015 general elections.

Buhari made this call on Thursday during a meeting with stakeholders of Ogoni ethnic nationality in the Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State promising them that if elected as President; he would hasten the implementation of the United Nations Environment Programme on the clean-up of Ogoniland.

He said, “I have made this comment before and the Federal Government refused to react to it; the number of soldiers, policemen and officers of the State Security Services they deploy during elections, if they had deployed them to Borno and Yobe states to fight Boko Haram, by now, Boko Haram would have been history.

“Boko Haram is not a religious group; Boko Haram is not an ethnic group. Boko Haram is a terrorist group. They attack people in schools, they attack people in Churches, they attack people in Mosques, they attack people in markets, and they shout Allahu Akbah! No religion rejoices over the blood of innocent people.”
