“Mr. President is very prepared to take profound measures in the wider interest of the people and the Nigerian nation.”
Monguno explained that the security meeting is necessitated by the fact that President Buhari is “concerned about the persisting security challenges in parts of the country.”
According to him, the Commander-in-Chief is ever ready to frontally confront the situation in the country.
To the NSA, President Buhari “made it abundantly clear that while the insurgents, bandits and criminals are still at it, he has no doubt that the Nigerian Security agencies and all of us as a nation will certainly overcome all the current security problems and defeat the forces of evil marauding about in different parts of the country.”
