Special Adviser to President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has labeled President Muhammadu Buhari as the saviour who kept Nigeria together in the face of massive insecurity.
Adesina, in his article, titled: “From N’East With Good Tidings“, noted that if Nigerians hadn’t had a person like Buhari in 2015, Nigeria may have been wiped off the face of the map by now.
The media aide said the President led the charge against terrorists and pushed them back, till they are now almost totally extinguished.
According to Adesina, the people of North-East region now have good stories to tell about how much his principal and security agencies have been defeated.
His article read in part: “Who feels it knows it all. Perhaps the region most affected by the insurgency that almost strangulated the country since 2009 is the North-East. It was there that Boko Haram started, proliferated, and spread to other parts of the land.
There are some people hellbent on giving us a siege mentality of insecurity in the country. They have deliberately refused to look at the brighter side of things, and all you hear from them is ‘worsening insecurity.’ That’s all they say on TV, radio, on social media, in newspapers, from the pulpits, mosques, anywhere, everywhere. They deliberately make it seem that the only thing happening in Nigeria is insecurity, they keep trumpeting it daily, even when confronted by vast improvements. They are soused and marooned in scaremongering.
“Who feels it knows it all. Ask people of the North East, and they will tell you what the administration of President Buhari has done for them in the area of security. And merchants of ‘worsening insecurity’ will be ashamed, if they would listen.
“The truth is that if we hadn’t had a person like Buhari in 2015, Nigeria may have been wiped off the face of the map by now. There was encircling doom and gloom around the country then, and we would all have been done for. But the President led the charge, and pushed the insurgents back, till they are now almost totally extinguished”.
“That is the summary of the security situation in not just the North East, but in a large part of the country. The job is not fully done yet, but we will get there, and soon too”, he further stated.
