will be denied a recruitment base the moment our
local communities realize that its claim to being a
religious group is nothing but a fraud.
"The fraud called Boko Haram can be defeated by
denying it a recruitment base,"
General Buhari told
visiting leaders of Nassarawa State who came to
congratulate him on his emergence as President-
elect.
"No religion allows for the killing of children in
school dormitory, in markets and places of worship.
They have nothing to do with religion. They are
terrorists and we are going to deal with them as
they deal with terrorists anywhere," he announced.
Buhari said he is greatly pained by the destruction
of schools in the North-eastern part of the country,
an action he said could deny thousands of
youngsters access to education and a better future
unless something was done urgently to avert this
tragedy.
"The worst thing anybody can do is to deny children
access to education. That will be destructive to
their lives and we are not going to allow that to
happen," the President-elect assured.
He announce that his government will help the
states to get more money to improve infrastructure
by ensuring that all federally collectible revenues
are paid directly into the federation account and
each tier of government given its due share.
"As at now, the government does not even know
how many revenue accounts it has. We will give all
the tiers what is due to them but will hold them to
be accountable as we would the federal
government."
Buhari while describing Nassarawa state as his
own "political laboratory", meaning the only CPC-
controlled state of the 36 others adjudged the
experiment as having been a success.
"From one state, I now have 22 political
laboratories."
He commended Governor Al-Makura for surviving
his many impeachment plots, saying "without
Nassarawa, there would not have been an APC."
