The equipment Buhari is using to fight Boko Haram are the ones my administration bought- GEJ

In an interview with International news channel,
France24, Former President Goodluck Jonathan,
said that the current administration is still using
the equipment his administration bought while he
was in government.
“The new government is working hard and I
believe they are still using the equipment
we procured. The budget is still being
debated, no new equipment has been
bought, so even those equipment the
president is using to prosecute the war
against Boko Haram are those equipment
we procured and I believe that with what
we left behind and the new ones they will
acquire, this issue of Boko Haram will be
taken to a logical conclusion.
When Boko Haram started in Nigeria, we
had no terror experience. Yes we had armed
robbery and other common crimes, but
terrorism was different because the people
involved were not afraid to die. So, you
need a different mechanism to confront
terrorism, you need superior technology, so
that you will be able to stop them even
before the attack. We never had the
equipment, but when we were confronted,
we started acquiring and before I left office
we built reasonable capacity and I believe
with what we left behind and also with
what the new government will acquire, they
will be able to prosecute this terror war to
a reasonable conclusion” he said
When asked to speak on the ongoing $2.1 billion
arms deal scandal, Jonathan said
"This issue always comes up but I always
insist that the matters are being
investigated and they are in our own courts
and in Nigeria where our issues are before
the courts, you don't make comments on it.
It is considered prejudice. But one thing you
will also realize is that for us to have
conducted elections across the country, all
parts of the country, that means that we
prosecuted the war against Boko Haram to
a reasonable level. Otherwise, we couldn't
have been in position to conduct elections
across the country and we couldn't have
fought Boko Haram with bare hands. This
issues of corruption, issues of misuse of
funds, being investigated before the courts
and I wouldn't want to compromise the
position of our laws because while I served
as the President of Nigeria, I made sure
that the judiciary had their own
independence. I made sure that there is
maximum separation of powers between all
arms of government. So haven left office, I
don't think I will be the person that will say
things that will be detrimental to the
judicial processes" he said
