‘Boko Haram wants to embarrass me,’ President says

Buhari also expressed his condolences to the families that lost loved ones in the attacks.

 

Following the recent attacks in Dalori village at the outskirt of Maiduguri, by suspected Boko Haram members, President Buhari has issued a statement saying the terrorists are out to embarrass his government.

This was revealed in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu.

The statement said “I urge all citizens wherever they live to own the war against terror and to be part of the fight because it is the only way we can finish the remaining work that needs to be done to make our country safe again.

“Having lost the war, they (the insurgents) are seeking ways and means to gradually find their way back into society.

“They are not returning to contribute but to cause more havoc. They are so desperate to embarrass the government and the people that they have no qualms attacking isolated communities and markets.”

The President also added that the military onslaught against the sect is making progress.

Meanwhile, Mr. President revealed that the Judiciary is his main headache in his fight against corruption.
