President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday declared that none of the 774 local government areas in Nigeria is under the control of the insurgents, Boko Haram.
The Senator representing Borno Central, Baba Kaka Garbai had recently claimed that more than 50 percent of Borno State was under the control of Boko Haram.
Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima and the Nigerian Army had swiftly disagreed with the senator’s position.
Buhari, at a joint briefing with the visiting German President, Mr. Joachim Guack at the Presidential Villa, Abuja maintained that the senator’s position was incorrect.
He also called for the support of Germany to make sure Nigeria emerges a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

That senator should be monitored and his previous activities thoroughly checked. His level of insensitivity is appalling and loyalty to the welfare of the community he represent in Nigeria is questionable. Boko Haram is not an issue to play politics with just for the sake of being heard, every sain mind knows that there is no where the flag of Boko Haram is hoisted again in Nigeria but pockets of Boko Haram members infiltrating public gatherings to reck harvoc. Victory and positive achievements should be acknowledged more so by those who should know that what we have now is different from what obtains before unless such person has contrary interest from what Nigeria wishes and is working to achieve.
