President Muhammadu Buhari has again hailed his administration’s achievement in the fight
against terrorism in Nigeria.
Buhari admitted that the major security challenges had remained in the North Central and North West, saying “We are going to be very tough.’’
Buhari said: “I will like us to reflect on what the situation was before we came in. How many Local Government Areas were under the control of terrorists in the North-East?
“In the South-South, we all know what the situation was; now we have relative peace. With the resources at our disposal, we have done very well.”
“People are very forgetful. Our main problem now is in the North West and North Central. People are killing one another in these places, what for? We’re going to be very tough,’’ he said.
“God is justice. You can’t kill innocent people, and shout; Allah Akbar (God is great). It’s either you don’t know that God at all, or you are simply being stupid.
“To say western education is unacceptable (Haram) is very fraudulent. That’s why we’re fighting them and educating the people. And we’re succeeding a lot.
“We came to the office when things were very bad, but we are educating the people. Education is fundamental. Religion and ethnicity are out of it. Some people have just made it a lifestyle to cause confusion, destruction, and death,” Buhari said.
