In his words: “Today, I can report that the war against Boko Haram is largely won. I can confidently say this because just recently, I led a group of 33 journalists from both the local and international media to the hot bed of the insurgency, that is, Maiduguri, Kondugua, Kaoure and Bama.
“Today, I can report to you that the entire 70 plus kilometres stretch from Maiduguri to Bama and all the way to Banki which leads to Cameroun and the Central African Republic are in the hands of our gallant troops.”
The defeat of the terrorists is in line with the promise of the Buhari led government to defeat Bokoharam before the year runs out.
He also said that the insurgents had adopted a new style of attacking soft targets like motor parks, schools, religious centres etc. killing innocent people by luring them close by screaming for help or faking injury .
He, therefore, urged Nigerians to support the military in the fight against terrorism, saying that the military had availed itself creditably.
“It is our turn as civilians to give them our support; to realise that the war they are fighting is not their war alone, but our war, hence we must own the war.”
