Fashola says Jonathan can’t fight B’Haram with 1985 weapons

The Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, has faulted a statement credited to President Goodluck Jonathan that Muhammadu Buhari did not buy any weapon for soldiers when he was in government.

Fashola spoke at the 2014 series of the Obafemi Awolowo Free Education Lecture organised by the Faculty of Education, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State on Thursday.


He wondered if President Goodluck Jonathan planned to fight terrorists with 1985 weapons.
He said, “When a man says, ‘When they were there, they did not buy guns’. Ask, If they had bought guns in 1985, will he be fighting war with 1985 guns?"

“It is a good thing to take a man by his words. Awolowo prepared himself to speak in public because he knew the value of the spoken word and more importantly knew electoral promises were a matter of very serious honour, and to break them was a matter of great dishonour and breach of trust." ...Punch
