- Tinubu noted that he inherited the job of securing every inch of the country, which is yet to be finished
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said his government will go after terrorists and bandits wreaking havoc across the country.
This is as he hailed predecessor, former President Muhammadu Buhari, for how he managed the affairs of the country when took over the reins of power in 2015.
Tinubu spoke at the launch of the book “Working with Buhari: Reflections of a Special Adviser on Media and Publicity (2015–2023)” by Femi Adesina,
Tinubu noted that he inherited the job of securing every inch of the country, which is yet to be finished.
Tinubu also boasted that his government will root out the last trace of Boko Haram, Ansaru, banditry and kidnapping gangs, adding that “we won’t rest until every agent of darkness is completely rooted out.”
The President said he was aware that he inherited huge liabilities from his predecessor but he would work to complete them, including the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Expressway.
Tinubu said President Buhari assumed office at a very turbulent period of our national life when the economy was barreling into recession and Boko Haram had seized control of swathes of territory in the North East.
According to him, it even appeared at a point that even Abuja, the seat of government, would fall into the hands of Boko Haram with the bombing of the UN Building, Banex Plaza, Nyanya and other locations within the Federal Capital Territory.
He said: “We cannot easily forget how our armed forces battled the Boko Haram terrorists under the leadership of President Buhari to reclaim our territory and push them to the fringes of Lake Chad, where they no longer pose an existential threat to our sovereignty.
“I must say the job of securing every inch of our country is yet to be finished. My government will stamp out the remaining vestiges of Boko Haram, Ansaru, banditry and kidnapping gangs. We won’t rest until every agent of darkness is completely rooted out
