Main PageHow I Ended Maitatsine Crisis, By Buhari
Presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) retired General Muhammadu
Buhari if elected he would end Boko Haram
insurgency like he ended the Maitatsine crisis in
the 1980s.
Buhari disclosed this in a video of his meeting with
youth volunteers in Lagos released yesterday.
In the video, Buhari spoke on issues ranging from
the economy, stabilizing the naira, politics and his
stewardship at the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF).
He also repeated his call for peaceful elections
and for citizens to protect their votes. He spoke
about how his regime's success in fighting
domestic terrorism.
He reiterated his decisiveness in dealing with
enemies of the Nigerian state, recounting an
episode when Chadian troops killed Nigerian
soldiers, during the regime of Hissene Habré. This
was despite the fact that Nigeria was giving
petroleum products to Chad at that time.
"Unfortunately for him, (Habré) those Nigerian
soldiers were under me," Buhari said, to laughter
from the audience.
Speaking on Maitatsine crisis, the former head of
state, recounted how the problem recurring after
the leader of the group was first exiled by the then
Emir of Kano, then returned and was killed by the
police.
When the group resurrected in Adamawa, Buhari
said: "I flew into Adamawa as head of state, and
that was the last you heard of Maitatsine."
In the video Buhari took his time to explain his
role in events like Nigeria's observer status in the
OIC, the so-called $2.8 billion 'missing' funds
during his time at the NNPC, his time at the PTF,
the famous 53 suitcases, among others.
