Barely 24 hours after ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo said the Boko Haram insurgency had worsened under the current administration, President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday said his government had done well in the area of security.
Buhari stated this while addressing the All Progressives Congress supporters at the party’s presidential rally at Giginya Stadium, Sokoto, the Sokoto State capital.
Obasanjo, had in an interview with the BBC Yoruba on Tuesday, lamented that Boko Haram insurgents were deadlier than they were before the present administration.
He also criticised Buhari’s economic policy, saying foreign investors were shunning the country.
But in Sokoto on Wednesday, Buhari said the mammoth crowd at the APC rally in Borno State on Monday was a proof of the success of his government in the area of security.
He stated, “When I came here in 2015 to campaign, I promised three things, to fight corruption, stop insurgency and to improve our economy. Today we can all see the results of the three.
“The unprecedented crowd that welcomed us in Borno was a testimony to the fact that we have done well in the area of security.
“The country has witnessed bumper harvest in the last two years, signifying that our economic policy is working.
“On corruption, I would not relent in fighting the menace. I assure you whoever is found wanting would be dealt with accordingly.”
