EDITOR’S PICK

EKO HOT BLOG reports the Presidency has listed the South South and North East as the two regions that have experienced peace under the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

This online media platform gathered that the Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu, made this known during an appearance on Channels Television on Monday night.

Shehu stated that President Buhari has made significant gains in the fight against insecurity in the two listed regions of the country.

He stated that Boko Haram terrorists no longer hold any territory in the North East and operate a system of administration and taxation that was unique to them.

Shehu said terrorists have found the North East too hot for them which made them leave the region and infiltrated some parts of the North West.

The presidential spokesman noted that his principal has solved some of the insecurity problems, admitting that there are still cases of infiltration and security sabotage.

He said: “Look at what the facts on the ground are showing. He came in 2015; Boko Haram had territory the size of Belgium, with a flag, a system of administration and taxation that was unique to themselves,” he said.

“They don’t command that kind of place in the country anymore. So much has been achieved.

“The Boko Haram has found the north-east too hot for them and they ran away and infiltrated some parts of the north-west, and it is also true that communities need to do more in terms of exposure.

“Infiltration, breaches and even sometimes sabotage can happen. He has solved some of those problems substantially. When he came in, the hotbed of the crisis was the North East.

“The north-east is more peaceful today than it was, and the south-south — the centre of oil which is the backbone of the economy — again calm has returned to the South-South.”
