President Muhammadu Buhari says he is overwhelmed by the
security situation in the north-west region.
Buhari spoke on Thursday at the palace of Sa’ad Abubakar,
Sultan of Sokoto.
The president said while the situation in the north-east and
south-south has improved compared to when he assumed office, the challenges in
the north-west are a different matter.
Buhari, however, said he has charged the military and other
security agencies not to spare any criminal posing a threat to the peace and
safety of Nigerians.
“Every day, we are
worried about what is happening in the north-west. When we came, if Nigerians
are to be fair to us, they know the condition in the north-east and the
south-south, but what is happening now in the north-west is what has honestly
overwhelmed me,” Buhari said.
“The same people, the same culture, killing each other,
stealing each other’s property. We are going to do our best and the military
and law enforcement agencies have been given a clear order that they shouldn’t
spare any bandit or terrorist.
“We are going to hand over a secure country better than we
inherited it.”
The president, who also commiserated with the state over the
recent bandit attacks, said “Nigeria shall win the battle over evil”.
