Take A Trip To Boko Haram Zones, Lai Mohammed Dares Fayose

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed
yesterday during an interactive session with journalists in Ikeja, Lagos State,
indirectly dared Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose to take a trip to Boko
Haram zones if he can, instead of sitting in the comfort of his living room and
releasing statements that gives succour to the sect. Mohammed who answered
questions from the journalists insisted the Army had reduced the sect to a
“fleeing, bomb-throwing, cowardly and disorganised army’’.

“The armchair critics, who dispute these facts from the
comfort of their living rooms, are free to take a trip to the theatre of war to
see things for themselves. Perhaps then, they will be more circumspect in
issuing reckless statements that give nothing but succour to Boko Haram.

“I have gone to the theatre of war to see things for myself.
I did not just stop in Maiduguri; I went all the way to Konduga, Kaure and Bama
which, as I said, was once the headquarters of the Boko Haram caliphate,” he said.

Fayose in a statement had earlier said, Nigerians will only
take the minister serious if he relocates to either Sambisa in Borno State or
to Yobe State and stay there till the end of March, next year, without heavy
military security.”
