President Muhammadu Buhari's recent sacking of service chiefs was to enable him answer questions that'll be thrown to him at his meeting with President Barack Obama of the United States appropriately.

Reports say he recently got wind that Obama will pose tough questions to him as to why after so much money was devoted to the war on insurgency, including foreign contributions, the Boko Haram terrorists were still holding sway.

“America will ask President Buhari why the Military Commanders (Sacked Service Chiefs) were still in place, when after several months of being in control and getting huge financial support from the Jonathan administration, Boko Haram is still biting hard," an official from the presidential office reportedly said.

“They will present Buhari with the figures and ask how this huge amount of money was spent, and for what purposes? Why is the result not showing?

"This is because America will tell President Buhari pointblank, that we have a package to assist you conquer this menace but it will be on the grounds that you have a new team with thinking faculty, a team that is tested and will spare no effort in ending the Boko Haram mayhem.

The source said President Buhari will now be able to look Obama in the face and say, “I have a new team in place. Trusted, with integrity, and primed to actualize my mission of ending Boko haram insurgency”.

“Buhari will tell the Americans that he has set machinery in motion to investigate how the huge amount of money so far released to fight insurgency was spent and why after such releases to the security agencies, many of the equipment promised, to deal with Boko Haram, are nowhere to be seen.
