BUHARI IS FIGHTING BOKOHARAM WITH ARMS MY GOVT. BOUGHT - GEJ
Former President Goodluck Jonathan, at his world press conference which held in Geneva, Switzerland, on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 spoke on a number of issues, including the alleged $2.1b arms purchase scam.

Former president Goodluck Jonathan has said that President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is continuing that fight against Boko Haram with the equipment the immediate past government porcured.
He made the statement while speaking to France 24. He affirmed that no new equipment has been bought.

He said: “The new government is working hard and I believe they are still using the equipment we procured. Though the budget is still being debated, no new equipment has been bought; so even those equipment the President is using to prosecute the war against Boko Haram are those equipment we procured.
“When Boko Haram started in Nigeria, we had no terror experience. Yes, we had armed robbery and other common crimes, but terrorism was different because the people involved were not afraid to die.

''We never had the equipment, but when we were confronted, we started acquiring and before I left office we built reasonable capacity and I believe with what we left behind and also with what the new government will acquire, they will be able to prosecute this terror war to a reasonable conclusion.”

The event was part of activities organized by the Circle of Diplomats (Circle Diplomatique), Geneva to honour Jonathan.

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Alhaji Abdulahi Jalo earlier asked the former President to tell Nigerians all he knows about the $2.1b arms purchase scandal, and to this he said ''he chose to keep quiet on the issue, because the case was before the courts''.
