Senate President Ahmad Lawan says the security situation in
the country will improve before the end of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.
Speaking during a visit to Abubakar Ibn Umar Garbai, Shehu
of Borno, on Wednesday, Lawan said security is progressively improving.
More than 30 persons were killed after insurgents invaded
farms in Rann, Kala-Balge LGA of Borno state on Sunday.
Lawan, who was in the state to meet with All Progressives
Congress (APC) delegates, suspended the engagement.
“Because of the sad event that took place in Kala Balge
where over 50 of our people were killed, we felt that it was only appropriate
to come to Borno to condole with the government and people of Borno state,” Ola
Awoniyi, his media aide, quoted him as saying.
“We pray that Almighty Allah will forgive their sins and
Aljannah Firdaus be their final resting place.
“Your Royal Highness, you have been consistent in your
support for the Federal government to fight the insurgency in this part of our
country.
“The situation is far
better than before. We are very hopeful that before this administration will
complete its tenure next year, we will have a better security situation in this
part of the country and indeed in all parts of the country by the Grace of
God.”
In a subsequent meeting with Babagana Zulum, Borno governor,
Lawan said: “This is a time for sympathy and empathy. This is not time for
politics.
“So we have come to condole with you and of course, we have
put off the political engagements in honour of our citizens who were killed by
Boko Haram ISWAP.”
