Wike tells Buhari to redouble his efforts and put an end to terrorism straight up

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to step up his efforts to keep his election promise of securing the country.

During the 2022 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Ceremony in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Wike said Nigeria was at a crossroads and that everyone was tired of the ongoing Boko Haram conflict in various parts of the country.

Kevin Ebiri, the Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, issued a statement that was made available to journalists.

Wike stressed the importance of the Federal Government prioritizing the proper equipping of the nation’s armed forces.

“However, the generality of Nigerians believe that the progress made can’t be good enough insofar as Boko Haram and its affiliates are still active in the North-East, North-West and some other parts of the country, killing, maiming and kidnapping helpless people, including school children, and destroying and displacing hapless communities.”

“We, therefore, call on Mr President to redouble his efforts and fulfil his cardinal electoral promise to secure the country and ensure that Nigerians feel safe and remain safe and secure wherever they are in their own country,” he stated.
