Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says the federal
government has made some progress in the fight against insurgency in Nigeria.
The Governor, however, said the progress is not good enough
as long as Boko Haram members are still killing innocent Nigerians.
He made the assertion during 2022 Armed Forces Remembrance
Day Ceremony in Port Harcourt on Saturday.
Wike called on President Muhammadu Buhari to redouble efforts in fulfilling his electoral promise of fighting insecurity in Nigeria.
“We acknowledge that some progress has been made in the
fight against the insurgents.
“However, the generality of Nigerians believes that the
progress made can’t be good enough insofar as Boko haram, its affiliates and
the bandits are still active in the North-East, North-West and some other parts
of the country, killing, maiming and kidnapping helpless people, including
school children, and destroying and displacing hapless communities.
“We, therefore, call on Mr President to redouble his efforts
and fulfill his cardinal electoral promise to secure the country and ensure
that Nigerians feel safe and remain safe and secure wherever they are in their
own country.”
Governor Wike further stressed the need for the Federal
Government to make the equipping of the armed forces a priority.
He also announced the donation of the sum of N50million as a
support fund that will help widows of fallen heroes.
