Buhari noted that the peaceful elections conducted in Edo and Ondo States would not have been a possibility without the key role played by the country’s security apparatuses.
He applauded the Army for its efforts in tackling the activities of insurgents, armed bandits, kidnappers, cattle rustlers and other violent criminals through ongoing exercises and operations.
The President said the Exercise SAHEL SANITY launched a few months ago in the North-West to rid the Katsina-Zamfara corridor of marauding bandits has been a tremendous success.
“I have also been briefed about the tremendous successes that have been achieved by troops during the ongoing Operation FIRE BALL in the North East.
“I charge you all to sustain these efforts until the full restoration of peace and security in the nation is achieved”, he said.
The President paid tribute to men and women who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty to protect Nigerian lives and property.
