Detained former National Security Adviser, Col Ibrahim Sambo Dasuki has said the government of Dr Goodluck Jonathan actually 'defeated' Boko Haram despite the 16 local government areas lost to the terrorist group in the North East.
He said ex-President Goodluck Jonathan deserve a pat on the back for the rare feat.
He made the remark from detention where he is being held for allegedly mismanaging an estimated $2.1 billion meant for purchase of arms to fight the dreaded Islamist sect.
Col Dasuki held that the sucessful conduct of the 2015 general elections in all parts of the volatile northeast would not have been possible had the sect not been degraded and defeated under the immediate past administration.
Recall the 2015 federal elections were successfully conducted throughout the northeast without a single soul lost or Boko Haram attack at the period under review.
He stated this in a foreward he personally wrote to a 308-page book titled, ‘Boko Haram Media War – An Encounter with the Spymaster,’ authored by Yushau Shuaib, an award-winning public relations professional.
He said: “In fact, without our intervention in ensuring the defeat of Boko Haram, the electorate could not have had the opportunity to exercise their franchise.”
“It is a fact that we provided peace and stability that afforded Nigerians, especially in the North-East in voting for their governors, legislators and others in the 2015 elections.
“In the war front are evident success stories which Shuaib has mentioned in some of the articles that featured in this book, especially on media relations, self-censorship, gallantry in recovering dozens of cities and towns among other declassified revelations,” he said.
