“On security, there are increasing efforts by the security agencies to bolster peace and security in the nation,” he said.

“Currently, there is no territory of the country that is under the control of insurgents like it was inherited. Buhari succeeded in turning around the economy of the country, as he pledged.

“The president had successfully delivered on all the three cardinal promises which he promised during his 2015 campaign. Kebbi State has also remained one of the most peaceful states in the country.”

KanyiDaily recalls that yesterday President Buhari said Nigerians know his administration has done its best in handling the security situation in the country.

Buhari’s remark is coming two days after Boko Haram insurgents attacked the convoy of the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, while he was on routine inspection.

On Thursday, multiple explosions from mortars fired by suspected Boko Haram members hit Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, killing two people and leaving many injured.
