N\"boko<\/a>igeria\u2019s president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari says Boko Haram 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.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued and signed by Garba Shehu, Directorate of Media & Publicity, APC Presidential Campaign, Buhari said: \u201cThe fraud called Boko Haram can be defeated by denying it a recruitment base,\u201d General Buhari told visiting leaders of Nassarawa State who came to congratulate him on his emergence as president-elect.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo 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,\u201d he announced.<\/p>\n

Buhari said he is greatly pained by the destruction of schools in Northeastern 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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,\u201d the President-elect assured.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buhari while describing Nassarawa state as his own \u201cpolitical laboratory\u201d, meaning the only CPC-controlled state of the 36 others adjudged the experiment as having been a success.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom one state, I now have 22 political laboratories.\u201d<\/p>\n

He commended Governor Al-Makura for surviving his many impeachment plots, saying \u201cwithout Nassarawa, there would not have been an APC.\u201d<\/p>\n
