Nigerians have been urged to remain thankful to God notwithstanding the spike in insecurity that have bedeviled the country under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, made the assertion while appearing on a Channels TV programme on Thursday September 2nd 2021, where he said things are a lot better under the Buhari regime.
He said, “As challenging as security is, even now, we are still not where we were.
“You would look at some areas of security if you are true and dispassionate and you will have cause to thank God that things are better in this area.
“There are some areas of security where things are a lot better than they used to be. There are still some challenging areas but there is assurance that those areas will be sorted out within the lifespan of this administration”.
This is coming less than 24 hours after more than 70 schoolchildren were kidnapped in Zamfara State.
Meanwhile, bandits have in several coordinated attacks killed and abducted citizens in hundreds, in Katsina, Kebbi, Niger, Kaduna, and Zamfara State, forcing school closure at different intervals.
