Boko Haram Financiers Want To Split Nigeria – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday declared that “Boko Haram is false” and that the organization’s backers only intended to divide the nation by funding the terrorist organization.

The President made this statement when he met with Shaykh Abdullah Bin Bayyah, the President of the Abu Dhabi Peace Forum, on the sidelines of the African Conference for Peace, which was held in Nouakchott, Mauritania.

In a statement released by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, President Buhari recalled efforts made to eradicate the Boko Haram ideology in Nigeria and questioned why the organization—along with the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP)—wanted to split the nation in two.
