Persisting claims in the local and international media that President Buhari has accused or indicted the United States Government of helping the terrorist group, Boko Haram are untrue and widely off mark.
Reports to that effect are an unfortunate misinterpretation and distortion of the President’s remarks at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) during his highly successful official visit to Washington DC.Indeed, President Buhari made it abundantly clear in those remarks, copies of which were circulated to the media, that he was convinced that the United States could never support groups such as Boko Haram.
“I know the American people cannot support any group engaged in these crimes,” the President clearly stated.
The regrets expressed by President Buhari at USIP about the impact of the application of the Leahy Law on Nigeria’s war against Boko Haram and terrorism cannot be construed as an indictment of President Barack Obama and the United States Government who have publicly and privately declared their preparedness to give the Buhari Administration the fullest possible support and assistance.
Within the context in which they were made, President Buhari’s comments on the adverse effect of the Leahy Law on Nigeria’s efforts to contain Boko Haram’s atrocious acts of terrorism should only be taken as a passionate appeal for even greater understanding and support from a very powerful and longstanding ally.
President Buhari has nothing but the highest possible regard for President Obama, the United States Government, the people of the United States, their laws and institutions.
The President had very successful and useful talks with President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry, other high-ranking US government officials and members of United States Congress during his visit to Washington DC.
It is his expectation that those talks will lead to better mutual understanding and a further deepening of bilateral relations between Nigeria and the United States, especially in Nigeria’s current priority areas of defence and security cooperation.

You wake up every morning praying for President Buhari to fail, so as to justify the failure of his predecessor.
Note it, the worst of Buhari will be better than the best of GEJ.

Mind u, countries like israel,saudi,uae all buy weapons heavily from the US too- they do better than your country- where is your pride coming from? Even NATO nations depend on US weapons!!!
May be u dont know- we do not have weapons....and we need both weapons and intelligence support from countries like US and israel as they have experience with fighting terrorists everyday...u align with people of similar interests- have u seen russia or china actively fighting d war on terror globally? Cant compare it to US or UK..u must pick an ally! He has picked..let the man be great..
oh my God. this is so embarrassing. I said it from the start that 'aiding and abetting' comment was dumb. Anybody with good grammar skills should know that was an uneducated usage of the phrase
I am sure he is more educated than your family tree..
illiterate? He can read and write very well and can learn and unlearn!
U need schooling/education so u can learn the meaning of the word/unlearn stupidity and rash behaviour.
This man is one of the most sound and technical presidents u have had in history- watch his interviews- he doesnt sound lost and he knows about what he says!

on track with what? stop being naive,this president is a northern and Islamic promoting president, he doesn't care about other parts of the nation,he is a closet dictator,what about the insensitive statement credited to him concerning those that voted and didn't vote for him,is that not enough for the minorities to begin to question this administration, sometimes we cover our eyes to stark truth.PMB is going to have a torrid 4years if he feels that he is going to victimise the south for not voting him.
You are a graduate I guess and I know you did Use of English in your 100L. To aid and Abet means what? After he will still deny that he said that the girls were kidnapped from their HOTEL room. Stop being myopic in your mind.
@ Bonario and Aboki, two brainless APC fanatics, mumu dey worry una
Ayaaaaa abi this old man get memory loss or wat
Then you big head is a bloody dumbass. Ode
Bonario ur the worst dimwit that ever walked this earth, make use of your phone and at least try and read BBC.
Prisca Ginika, PMB, can not be afraid of US, in my own view I believe those talk was not from PMB, it was from those enemies of Nigeria that wanted US to hate PMB, als for US not to give help to FG of Nigeria.
Yes Bonario, u re right.
Sometimes i wonder y people come to this platform to talk anyhow.... Buhari gave à speech, He made a Very clear clarification amidst misintepretation from the local and mostly international média who re ready to squeeze water out of stone to sell à story, So y all this buhari dey Fear face etc by Mr royal priesthood n co. Why cant we be objective for once.... Anyway n'a wethin Linda cost....

You are vulture, stupid ass....hole
You are a vulture....stupid ass....hole
@bonario, u are absolutely right. In as much as the insurgency seems to have escalated if that dump, deaf, and doom of a human being called Jonathan did what was right we won't be here today. But I pray things would be better. Because half buhari is surely batter than full badluck Jonathan.
Yeye buhari. Your second name is Linus. You can lie for africa and obodo oyibo. See ur face like liquid shit
I dey laugh. When I read the statement credited to him I was like' this guy doesn't know the implication of such utterance. You are the president of the most powerful black nation, watch your utterances. This is not Nigeria where our leader make careless and inflammatory statements and no one really cares. The pressure on our naira is because of some of PMB and APC's utterances. Be careful guys.
Whats the difference? what is good for the goose plays out again. Release counter statements as you want, you will always get backlashes until you become a man of your words! The problem i see is the youths of Nigeria, with the kind of hate interwoven in their DNA,one can see that at old age when they lead Nigeria (The only country children are not the leaders of tomorrow) that's if they ever do, the hate campaign will continue.
Culled from James Gunn, thisday comment:
Jonathan Goodluck was tagged clueless. He surrounded himself with the best and capable hands he could find. This is a rundown of some of the capable hands and their current positions after government.
Diezani Allison Maduekwe: Former Petroleum Minister ---now---President of OPEC.
Akin Adesina: Former Agriculture Minister ---now---President of the African Development Bank.
Arunma Otteh: Former Director General SEC ---now---Vice President and Treasurer of the World Bank.
It is not a coincidence that they have been appointed or voted into this positions. I am waiting to hear Ngozi Okonjo Iweala's new appointment. Not all were saints, some were certainly corrupt but some were brilliant minds who worked assiduously for this country. He left Obama and his double speak and went to Putin. Putin went as far as instructing a Russian bank to lend us the money for arms purchases. Buhari needs to swallow his pride and call Jonathan for advice. He was not the best president but he was better than all those that preceded him. Buhari will NOT make any headway in this war against Boko haram. The only idea he thought he could bring in was moving the command and control of the military to Borno State. Totally unnecessary. In this age of internet, fibreoptics and broadband, advanced telecommunications, satelites and drones your military command does NOT have to move to an Area of Operations. Afterall an aircraft carrier (as formidable as an entire army battalion ) can anchor in the atlantic ocean and lay siege to a country. America did not move its Pentagon Command and Control to Iraq and Afghanistan. All the years of criticizing Jonathan, that was the only strategy he could think of. The trips to Chad and Cameroun are in continuance of what Jonathan had already started. I remember the furore over the plane found with millions of dollars going to buy arms from the black market in South Africa. They said it was corruption and embezzlement. This man was making the most of a crazy situation but he was called all sorts of names.Now Buhari has got the first taste of an international diplomatic upper cut. Since he announced that the G8 said he should bring his shopping list, this is almost 2 months. No new military pacts, alliances or training packages have been announced. I weep for Nigeria. The next 4 years are going to be filled with perpetual backward motion.
we are victims of our ignorance, we have capable engineers, if things were put in place for them to build arms, remember biafra " ogbunigwe", instead our rulers choose to stack money away,until we put aside all tribal & party divide, and put deserving people to work, we will continue to live in the dark.Eevva

ALL THOSE MIS-INTEPRETING BUHARI'S STATEMENT INCLUDING YOU LINDA THAT CARRIED THE NEWS SHOULD BE CAREFUL. THE MORE YOUR TRY TO BRING BUHARI DOWN, THE MORE GOD ELEVATES HIM. SO TRY HARDER.
