Rimi-Zayam made the commendation on Saturday in Bauchi while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He said that he was impressed with the measures taken by Buhari towards curbing terrorism in the North-East, and in combating other vices, including corruption, in the country.
He said that though it was too early to assess the achievements of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in its nine months in government, "one has to praise Buhari for his bold and giant strides".

Expressing support to the president on the fight against corruption and efforts at recovering stolen funds, he said "retrieve the loots from the looters but don't prosecute or send them to jail’’.
"Anyone who has stolen public fund, even if it is me, should return the exact amount to the public treasury.
"But, I am begging Buhari to set the looters free and allow them to continue to live in terrible shame they have brought to themselves," he said.
"We all know that there are good judges and good lawyers, and there are bad judges and lawyers, therefore, Buhari should ensure that corrupt cases are sent to credible judges and lawyers," he said.
