Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, yesterday,
assured victims of Boko Haram attacks in Adamawa
State of President Mohammadu Buhari’s determination
to rid the country of terrorists, urging them not to lose
hope.
Osinbajo, who has been travelling to states in the
North-East in the last two days on the instruction of
President Buhari, spoke when he visited the Internally
Displaced Persons, IDPs, in NYSC camp and the Federal
Medical Centre, in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.
He said: “Everyday, the President is thinking about you.
That is why he sent me to come and see, take notes, to
understand what is going on, to hear from you, so that
I can report to him for positive action. That is why I am
here.
“He asks me to say to you that there is hope, great
hope, that the Federal Government under his
leadership will ensure everything is done to provide
for you and resettle you back to you homes, your
work, your businesses and your places of worship.
“But you have to be patient. As you know, the
government has very little money. We are running
after all the money everywhere, so that we use it to
serve you.”
The Vice President also stated that the Federal
Government will sweep off landmines and other form
of explosives from farmlands in territories recently
recovered from insurgents.
Also, speaking at the Bajabure NYSC Orientation camp
in Damare, Girei Local Government Council of
Adamawa State, Osinbajo said the task of de-mining
affected farmlands in the recovered areas ravaged by
insurgency would receive utmost priority of
government, adding that it was a very important step
in achieving the primary objective of rehabilitation and
resettlement of displaced persons back to their
homes.
Explaining the seriousness of the situation, the vice
president said terrorists “plant landmines and other
form of explosives making it difficult for people to
resettle and that is why it is absolutely important for
us that the farmlands are swept clean of mines and
explosives. That is a matter we shall take seriously.”
On unemployment, poverty in Adamawa
While commenting on the problem of unemployment
and poverty in Adamawa State, he disclosed that his
party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), was
specifically concerned with the problems even as he
reiterated President Buahri’s commitment in
alleviating poverty.
He said: “Naturally, on the concern about the question
of unemployment in this state and the question
generally about poverty in this particular state, the
Federal Government is specifically concerned about
the issues of mass poverty and one of our cardinal
campaign promises is that the poor in this country
must not be left behind and must not be forgotten.”
He also assured the government of Adamawa State
that the administration of President Buhari was
committed to assisting them rebuild and reconstruct
affected parts of the state.
Visits wounded soldiers
Meanwhile, the Vice President Osinbajo accompanied
by the Governor of Adamawa State, Senator Bindow
Jubrilla and other dignitaries visited some of the
wounded soldiers and other victims being treated at
the Federal Medical Centre, Yola.
He had earlier paid a courtesy call on the Lamido of
Adamawa, Alhaji Muhammadu Barkindo Mustapha,
who expressed delight in the readiness of the Buhari
presidency to confront the insurgency crisis in the
state and other parts of the North-East.
