NAIJ.com gathers that the governor noted that those benefiting from Internally Displaced Persons scams and payment of ransom (in dollars) to free those abducted by the terrorists, among others, would never wish to see the end of the insurgency.
Hence, he stated that the anti-insurgency war had become a business venture.
Fayose also raised an alarm about a possible conspiracy, as he reflected on reports that the military had withdrawn from Dapchi town in Yobe, just a few days before 110 schoolgirls were abducted.
He wondered why there had been no questions asked, despite the fact that conflicting claims had been made by the army and police.
He stated: “Painfully, it appears we will have to live with Boko Haram for a very long time because waiting for the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government to save Nigerians is a waste of time.
“They boasted that Boko Haram will be defeated within three months; it is now more than 30 months.
“All that they have told Nigerians is grammar – Boko Haram technically defeated, Boko Haram completely defeated and now Boko Haram completely degraded.
“As long as the fight against Boko Haram remains a business venture, providing cheap money for top officials of this government, the insurgency will continue.
“President Buhari must, therefore, look inwards and purge his government of those benefiting from the insurgency if indeed he desires that it should end.”
