“Nobody, I’m not sure any president will say by next year there will be no banditry. It is just like saying by next year, there will be no thief.
“But what is important is that they should judge us by our achievement. We’ve not thrown our hands in the air. There was a time they asked us to hire mercenaries, but our soldiers are doing their best in these circumstances.”
Emotional intelligence - Buhari pays glowing tribute to Lai Mohammed at 70
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, on his 70th birthday.
The president's best wishes to Mohammed were contained in a statement issued on Tuesday, December 7, by Femi Adesina, the special adviser on media and publicity.
Buhari extolled the former national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who he described as a devoted public servant.
Remove Mohammed from office
In another report, a prominent leader of the APC who happens to be a former commissioner for information, culture, and tourism in Niger, Jonathan Vatsa called for Mohammed's immediate sack.
Vatsa said sacking the minister of information and culture has become necessary following the submitted report of the Lagos EndSARS enquiry panel which revealed that some persons were killed during the October 2020 protest.
The Niger APC stalwart and leader said that President Muhammadu Buhari needs to remove Mohammed from office in order to redeem the reputation of his administration.
