During the build up to the 2015 general election, one of the focal points of then General Muhammadu Buhari (now President Muhammadu Buhari) and his party All Progressive Congress (APC), is the issue of insecurity which General Muhammadu Buhari, promised to tackle within a year, using his military background and exposure to assure Nigerians of his ability to end insecurity in the country.
Contrary to his promise to end insecurity during the 2015 general election campaign, President Muhammadu Buhari after over six years in office as the President of Nigeria, is still using the word “I will defeat terrorists” instead of “I have” and I wonder if the word “I will” will ever change to “I have” before the President’s tenure ends in 2023.
With the rate at which the terrorists now attack places presumed to be secure and the recent attack on Borno airport less than an hour before the arrival of the President at the airport, it is safe to say the president have done the best he can in the area of insecurity and Nigerians should not expect more from him hence, his call on the next president to “secure the country”.
May God secure the country!
