Buhari reveals sponsors of Boko Haram

President Muhammadu Buhari has said forces outside the country were
the sponsors of Boko Haram.

Buhari said this on Wednesday at a town hall meeting organised by the
Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) and Daria Media with support from
the MacArthur Foundation in Abuja.

While urging Nigerians to support his administration in defeating Boko
Haram, he said, "We need a lot of money for the military, for spare
parts, communication gadgets, arms and ammunition. Boko Haram is
certainly supported by forces outside Nigeria."

He also stated that the National Working Committee of the APC,
supported his emergence as the party's flag-bearer.

"I said it much earlier at the National Executive Committee of our
party that if my party recommended me to its executive, I would
contest. I did that to to save time and wide discussions among members
of the party.

"So, those who felt very strongly about it left the party and the
party nominated me. Why? It is because I felt that the three
fundamental objectives we campaigned in 2015 are still relevant," he
added.
