Number of Boko Haram casualties

Military sources were unable to tell the number of Boko Haram casualties. Military sources said the fallen commander was a lieutenant colonel, who had overseen the unit for a long time. He once allegedly refused to mobilise troops for an operation, citing unavailability of serviceable hardware, but faced threats of being court-martialed, according to sources. 

It was not immediately clear how many soldiers were manning the base during the attack, which was linked to Islamic State in West Africa, ISWA. The group has long targeted military bases, and has intensified its assaults in recent months on military formations across the volatile North East.

A day before, on November 17, Boko Haram terrorists attacked the base of Sector 2 troops in Mainok, Kaga Local Government Area, killing at least one soldier and leaving several others wounded. Military sources believed the Shekau faction of the group was responsible for the attack, which saw insurgents cart away a large quantity of arms and ammunition.

According to the online publication, both the Nigerian Army and the Defence Headquarters did not return requests seeking comments on the attacks yesterday morning. Spokesperson for the Nigerian Air Force also did not return messages seeking comments.

Four seasons of a democratic politician.

The former president also outlined what he described as the four seasons of a democratic politician.

He said: “The first is when you start campaigning and go round to seek for votes, then the election comes and you win. The second season is when you take up office and all is going well, then suddenly there is ups and down, of course you came in with high popularity that’s why you are able to win election, but as you go on the popularity start to dwindle, until either you come to the expiration of your time or you lose election.

“Now the beginning of the third season, it does not matter who you are, immediately you leave office you will have lost friends, particularly the fairweather friends, and that is a very tight period for anybody who has been elected before. Then the fourth is when you weather the storm until you start to pick up again.”

Obasanjo praised Jonathan for his leadership to Nigeria and the manner in which he exited office.
