In the 8-minute audio message purported to be from Shekau, the speaker who introduced himself in the Hausa language as the “leader of the west Africa wing” of Islamic State (IS), defined President Buhari as an ostentatious liar who they will definitely fight.
It should be noted that Buhari, who came into power on May 29 promising to end Boko Haram had last week ordered his army chiefs to end the insurgency in three months.
But Shekau has pledged to continue to fight on until the sharia law is established in every part of Nigeria.
He said: “This ostentatious person, a liar — I mean Buhari, who raised arms to crush us in three months. You Buhari, why didn’t you say in three years?”
“We will certainly fight you by the grace of Allah until we establish Allah’s law everywhere on Earth.”
The Boko Haram leader also rebuffed claims by the Chadian leader Idriss Deby that he is dead.
