There Is No Timing That Is Not Good For Aiding Security – Femi Adesina

Femi Adesina, has disclosed that the president’s recent approval of the release of $1 billion for the purchase of military equipment is not just to fight Boko Haram.

“I can inform you that of recent, our leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, gave approval for the purchase of more equipment for the military, worth $1 billion,” Dan-Ali said.

While speaking on Channels Television, Adesina said the fund is not just to intensify the military’s fight against Boko Haram but to fight other forms of insecurity in the country.

He said, “It couldn’t have been done before the approval, the approval had to come like it came and then Mr President having approved it, sends a communication to the National Assembly. That’s the right procedure.

“That fund is not meant to battle Boko Haram, it is not Boko Haram fund; it is fund to battle insecurity. Boko Haram is not the only form of insecurity we have in Nigeria.

“As we speak now, the communication to the National Assembly is about ready. Those who have been venting spleen and flexing muscles over the matter should just have bothered to make enquiries from the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters.

“There is not timing that is not good for security. Every time is security time. Those who are reading political meanings to it, it is just very unfortunate they play politics with everything and they will play politics with the very life of Nigerians which is very bad.”
