President Muhammadu Buhari has come out to say that security will be restored to the North-East and the nation at large very soon.

He recently revealed that he is sure of this after the recent adoption of new strategies, and the acquisition of modern military equipment.

According to him, the situation will improve very soon because he and the Northeast Governors lose sleep over securing the country.

He added that APC campaigned in 2015 on three major objectives, among which is security, so they cannot go back on their words now.

His words, “Things will improve very soon. We are acquiring modern equipment; some are here, some are being cleared, and others still coming.

“We need patience with acquisition of equipment. You need to train the trainers for their usage ahead of their deployment to the field.

“I have listened to your presentation. I assure you, the Northeast Governors, especially that of Borno, that we go to bed and wake up thinking about you, how to secure our country, that is the responsibility of every government.

“Our party campaigned in 2015 on three major objectives, among which is Security. We said the same thing in 2019 and Nigerians believed us.

“We are doing our best and we will continue to do even better.”
