One time Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, on Tuesday disclosed that the Boko Haram menace may not end in December as planned by the Federal Government. Gowon, who expressed confidence in the military’s renewed efforts in flushing out insurgency in the country, stressed that it was out of place for someone to say the war against insurgency would end in a particular period of time.
The former Head of State, however, faulted the presidency on the deadline given to the military to end the insurgency in the country, noting that from past experiences, no one should be certain when such menace like insurgency would end. He however appealed to Nigerians to use prayers as an alternative and effective weapon to defeat Boko Haram as it’s capable of changing the hearts of the insurgents.
