Buhari has done his best in tackling insecurity, leaving the country better than he met it – Adesina

The Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has said that the President is leaving the country far better than he met it as he has done his best in tackling Nigeria’s security challenges since he assumed office in May 2015

He said this during an interview on Channels TV on Monday night. He said when confronted with verifiable data that between May 2015 and May 2022, over 55,000 Nigerians were killed by terrorists, bandits, and armed gangs, Adesina said the President has left the security situation of the country better than he met them in 2015.

“far better. In 2015, we knew where Nigeria was. Minimum of 17 local governments in this country were under the control of insurgents. Talking of control, I mean they were sitting in emir palaces, they sitting in the seats of the local government chairmen. NYSC could not even do orientation; they could not even post people to those places, he said

Is that what happens today? No. The emirs are back in their palaces. The local government chairmen are back in their offices. NYSC orientation are opening in those states and corpers are being posted to those states. Are you now telling me there have been no improvement? No, let’s be factual”

”Don’t subject security to ethnic balancing, don’t subject security to federal character. In fact, the constitution that prescribes federal character even gives the President some prerogatives that he can appoint on his own,” he added
