Muhammadu Buhari visited Maiduguri yesterday where he spoke on how his administration plan to tackle banditry in the North.
In his speech, he disclosed that the government has acquired new weapons and military hardware which will be used to fight bandits and reduce terrorism in the state as he also addressed the issue of securing the country.
According to Buhari’s full speech in Borno, he said;
“I am adequately aware of successes here and our failure elsewhere especially in my geopolitical zone, the North West, where it is the same people, the same culture who are stealing each other’s properties, killing each other, what for?
“We have ordered and started receiving military hardwares from United State of America; Aircraft, Helicopters, Armoured vehicles and we are going to be very very hard on them.
“The problem is in the North West as I said, is same people, same culture, we are going to deal with them.
“I know and I swear with the Holy Quran, which I believe with that I will uphold the Constitution of the country, by that I must go in 17 months time, and I will go, God willing, and I hope whoever is coming will try to do the three things I tried to do. One, secure the country because unless the country is secured, it cannot be managed.”
