President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, October 19 admitted that he was disturbed and surprised by the claim made by members of Boko Haram sect about the support they have been receiving from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Vanguard reports that Buhari however said he was happy that his administration had been able to prove that it could contain the insurgents.

The statement by his senior special assistant on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, revealed that the president at a joint press conference he held with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey after their talks in Ankara.

“We were very surprised and disturbed by the claim made by Boko Haram on what they have been getting from ISIS. “We know we will be able to contain them and we have proven that we can do it. “We are very pleased that Turkey is in a position to assist us and has been strengthening our educational and health institutions,” Buhari reportedly said at the press conference.

According to the statement, the two leaders agreed to strengthen cooperation between the security agencies of both countries to counter terrorism. Buhari said he was ‘‘very pleased’’ that the defence ministers of both countries held extensive discussions on developing new strategies for counter-terrorism.

He said: “We are very pleased with the progress of the meeting so far and we are going to wait for the details of meetings between the two countries. “We will as a result of the meeting between the ministers and officials of both countries strengthen rapidly whatever their recommendations are.”

Commenting on the degradation of Boko Haram in Nigeria, the President said the improved security situation in the North East was an eloquent testimony to the efforts of his administration in combating terrorism since he came into office in May 2015 Buhari said the two leaders also discussed the prospects of increasing their bilateral trade, which has exceeded $779m in the first eight months of 2017.

“There are a lot of potentialities in terms of investments and a lot is being done in the educational and health sectors in Nigeria. “These will be strengthened and I assure you that Nigeria is prepared to accept Turkish business people to come and explore more of Nigeria’s potentialities,” the Nigerian leader said. In his remarks, Erdogan said Nigeria had great potentials and remains “a global actor in terms of economy, demographics and its peacekeeping records.”

He indicated that Turkey was interested in investing in Nigeria’s electricity, refineries and gas sectors, adding that increasing the flights between Turkey and Nigeria would further improve commercial and people-to-people relationships. On the fight against terrorism, the Turkish leader said: “There is no difference between Boko Haram, Fethullah Terrorist Organisation or Daesh , which have all killed, inflicted pain and hardship on innocent people.

All of these organisations are hordes of murderers that feed on the innocent people, and in the fight against terrorism, we will stand with our Nigerian friends, and we are ready to share our experience and provide all kinds of support. “We also expect the same cooperation from Nigeria in fighting against Fethullah that murdered 250 Turkish citizens last year.”

And you are clueless on how to handle them.

Your administration did not defeat Bokoharam. A lot of them were sympathetic to northern hegemonic drive so they soft pedalled. Hand over to a southerner and see the evil in your people

Are you disturbed because they will take all the "GLORY" of ur darling boko haram?
No wonder u are busy releasing all the boko haram members captured "in battle" during the last administration and granting them amnesty in guise of regrouping with those still lurking in chad.

I am sure ISIS too are disturbed by your government's support for Fulani herdsmen. At least BH is technically defeated unlike Fulani herdsmen.

I will defeat bokoharam in three months

Buhari donates to ISIS

Buhari is a terrorist

you are disturbed abi you are the chief signatory to there unity.

goat

Both Buhari and Erdogan are supporters of one form of terrorism or the other with Erdogan known to support and arm ISIs in the past and Buhari known to support Boko harams in the past and Fulani terrorists more recently

They will be defeated.

Don't be Mr. President because Boko Haram had long been technically defeated by your Army and confirmed by Lair Muhammed. Even Fulani Herdsmen are just ordinary Criminals.

Please focus on the IPOB disturbing us with agitation and place a 100m USD ransom on Kanu in order to stabilize the national Security.

An attack on Boko haram is an attack on the North -PMB

You were fighting for them back then just to discredit the government on seat.
Karma is a b!tch. The chicken has come home to roost.

You are not doing enough to curtail the barbaric activities of the Fulani herdsmen, I pray it will not come back to haunt another administration in the future.
