The Governor of Cross River State, Ben Ayade has come out to say that the security situation in Nigeria would have been worse if not for the efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he has nothing but praise for the president’s understanding of international and local security challenges, and the fact is that Buhari has been able to suppress banditry and Boko Haram insurgency.

Ben Ayade added that the depth of knowledge and intellect the president exudes is simply outstanding.

His words, “Let me first acknowledge the depth of knowledge and the depth of the intellect that the president exudes, his master hand understanding of the international and global security challenges and dovetailing into the Nigerian situation, and, what he has done to be able to stem the continuous incursion of bandits and Boko Haram into Nigeria.”

“This country would have been in a worse situation but President Muhammadu Buhari given the fall of Afghanistan, given the massive movement of people who have a feeling that the West African province belongs to them by birth, and therefore Muslims of West African origin, and Christians, in their opinion, are infidels and therefore must be wiped out.”
