President Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed to Nigerians that he has fulfilled the promise made to them to courageously tackle Boko Haram terrorists and stabilise the country.
He made this known during his visit to Yobe State, stating that, God has helped his regime to clear Boko Haram in the North-East.
The President noted that the threat of terrorism was the most critical security challenge inherited by his regime but expressed delight that normalcy had returned to the affected states in the North-East, Nigeria.
According to him, the threat was particularly pervasive across the North-East geopolitical zones with Yobe State as one of the most hit by the terrorists.
President Buhari commended Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State for taking advantage of the return of peace and security in the state to execute people-oriented projects.
Describing the governor as very competent and courageous, the President said he was lucky to have him in the saddle as the political leader in the state, supporting the federal efforts to decimate Boko Haram terrorist group.
He also acknowledged the cooperation of Nigeria’s neighbours in the fight against insurgency, recalling that his first visit outside the country in 2015 was to Niger and Chad, to garner support on tackling the misguided sect.
