Borno state governor Kashim Shettima of Borno says the residents of his state and the North Eastern Nigeria are perpetually grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari for restoring sanity to the region.
While speaking with journalists in Maiduguri at the weekend, Shettima also commended the Nigerian Armed Forces for restoring peace to the North East.
“The military has recorded tremendous achievements in the past six months, we are now consolidating the emerging peace in the state. It is wrong for anyone to say that the Boko Haram are in control.”
“Yes you might have pockets of them trying to foment mischief, but eventually, we shall overcome the hiccups.”
“We are all living witnesses to what is happening in Borno, you and I know that in the last couple of months Ngala was liberated by the military, so also was Bama, Gwoza, Dikwa, Mafa and so many other communities that were hitherto under the terrorists’ control. The military deserve commendation not condemnation.”
“The Boko Haram terrorists have been decimated and President Buhari deserves special commendation for that. The people of the North-East, especially those of Borno are eternally grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari for his commitment toward restoring sanity in the area.”
While noting that terrorism can’t be ended within a short time-frame, Shettima said: “The most important thing for us now as a people is to support the Federal Government on the anti-terrorism war.”
