“This thing (insurgency) almost came up during our time but we crushed it in less than a month. We have a military that is known and respected the world over for peace keeping. The military has the right leadership and the required arms; they can end this insurgency. But the government is promoting this insurgency for selfish reasons,” Mr. Abubakar said.
