President Muhammadu Buhari says his administration has significantly weakened the Boko Haram insurgents.

In a statement by Garba Shehu, presidential spokesperson, Buhari condemned the recent attack of the insurgents on Garkida in Adamawa state.

On Friday, the insurgents attacked the town, killing many people.

The insurgents reportedly broke into the town around 7pm, shooting sporadically. Soldiers who engaged them in a gun battle were said to have pulled back for reinforcement.

As a result of that, the insurgents reportedly moved into the town, setting many houses on fire.

Reacting to the attack, the president extended his sympathy to the families of the victims and assured them that no part of the country would be abandoned to their fate.

“These attacks on soft targets by the terrorists are obvious signs of frustration because my administration has significantly weakened Boko Haram’s military capability to invade and hold Nigerian territory unchallenged,” he said.

“Our gallant forces deserve our appreciation for repelling the attackers but they must go beyond this point. They have our full support to go after the terrorists and have them pay a huge price. I want to assure the country that terrorists will continue to face the combined power of our military until they give up their mistaken ways.

“These occasional and episodic attacks on poor civilians by the terrorists are mere propaganda efforts to portray them as strong in order to fool the public into believing that they haven’t been militarily weakened by our gallant troops.”

The president also assured them that in the coming weeks, Nigerians would “witness an aggressive campaign to rout Boko Haram once and for all”.

He appealed to citizens to keep supporting the troops in their effort to secure the country.

“Security will continue to be well funded despite the competing needs of social services. I appeal to Nigerians to continue to support our troops in their gallant efforts to protect the citizens and secure the country,” Buhari said.

But let me confirm from President Abba Kyari first..

Doomed country! Sick to the stomach each time this cow speaks.

Buhari is a monumental disaster

Sjrjr

Speak on daddy dearest..

Zombies are listening...

So which targets are soft and which ones are hard ?

Sacking and burning down a whole village, killing several soldiers, burning of police stations are soft targets ?

This man don craze finish

If the Presidential spoke person don't know what to say, he better keep shot. How can you refer human lives as soft targets.


Gibberish

Baba wey mumu

Mr.president is always disgracing this nation with most of his stupid utterances.Are BH supposed to be "attacking soft( human) targets" in the first place?

Mr President say something else. As a result of your remarkable failure, Boko Haram has decimated the Nigerians Army and turn Nigerians living in the North into homeless vagabond.

Attacking a full town in broad daylight is now soft target ? Buhari fear God o

Attack on military is now soft target.


Baba we Wailers hail you.

Nigeria is in free fall, not even autopilot.

Protect all soft Targets that Bokoharam don't reach there. Clear them out of Hardwares and reverse the Release of those you call Repentants and drive them all out of NIGERIA.

Boko Haram have been taking the fight to their so called SUPER CAMP.

Sai baba!
