President Muhammadu Buhari has said Nigerians deserve a country that will guarantee the citizens are free from fear and harassment.
In a statement issued on Friday, the President recalled his trip to Maiduguri the Borno State capital where he addressed officers and men of the Nigerian Armed Forces serving in Operation Hadin Kai – a military operation aimed at fighting insurgency in the north-east.
He equally commended the Armed Forces for their selfless services to the nation, noting that some have ended up paying the supreme price by laying their lives for the peace and security of the country.
“In my address to the troops in Maiduguri yesterday, I charged them to stay focused to achieve our strategic goal of defeating ALL the adversaries of our nation, and restoring economic viability to the North-East, North-West, and all other parts of the country,” the statement read.
“Nigerians truly deserve a Country where they are free to go about their activities without fear or harassment.
“Let me also restate how grateful I am, as Commander-in-Chief, and how grateful the entire nation is, for the selfless sacrifices of our Armed Forces, which in some cases have entailed paying the supreme price.”
The President reiterated his administration’s commitment to prioritizing the welfare of the nation’s Armed Forces, assuring that their sacrifices will never be in vain.
