WOW! President Buhari Plans To Relocate To Maiduguri To “Lead The Fight Against Boko Haram”

This was part of the decision the president reached with the service chiefs during their meeting yesterday at the defence house in Abuja.
Buhari had in his inaugural speech directed that the command centre of the military’s fight against Boko Haram be relocated to Maiduguri, the hotbed of the insurgents, but sources who was privy to the meeting said Buhari’s decision to relocate the command centre was because he has made up his mind to also relocate to the terrorist ravaged city.
The Complex recalls that during his campaign, President Buhari at the Chatham House in London had vowed to “lead from the front” in the fight against Boko Haram if elected in the country’s forthcoming election.
According to our source, Buhari told the military chiefs that he will be in Maiduguri for six months if necessary, to coordinate the fight against the insurgents, but the service chiefs plead with him that six months is too long for the president and the command centre to be in Maiduguri.

The service chiefs tried to pressure the president into abandoning the idea, but he insisted on keeping to his campaign promise of leading the fight from the front, the source said.
After much pressure from the service chiefs, Buhari then agreed to reduce the period he will stay upon his relocation to Maiduguri, but insisted that he must move to Maiduguri at least for a few month.
