The Director of Policy Strategy in the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Ambassador Layiwola Lasehinde, speaking at a symposium organised by the United Nigerians Forum with the theme: “Nigeria of Our Dreams,” made it clear that America cannot bring Boko Haram to an end in Nigeria.
According to him it will still take much longer to end the activities of the sect and other acts of insurgency.
“It took American 10 years to locate Bin Laden and when you are talking of resources, American government spent huge amount of money in search of Bin Laden, who was sitting in a house close to a military station.
“America cannot solve the terrorism problem in Afghanistan and they were there for years, spending $1million everyday. They were also in Iraq, spending $1m everyday also. In fact, what they have achieved there now was worse than when they got there.
“We are not saying that we will not get to the end of terrorism in Nigeria, but don’t expect a quick resolution. It is a virus that had entered the political body of the country and it will be extremely difficult to remove it because there are many disgruntled people all over supporting them.”
He also said that there would be no meaningful development in the affected region until there was peace.
