Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, states the federal government has actually made some progress in the battle against insurgency

in Nigeria. The Governor, however, stated the development is unsatisfactory as long as Boko Haram members are still killing innocent Nigerians.

He made the assertion throughout 2022 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Ceremony in Port Harcourt on Saturday.

Wike called on President Muhammadu Buhari to enhance efforts in satisfying his electoral guarantee of combating in security in Nigeria.

“We acknowledge that some development has been made in the fight against the insurgents.

“However, the generality of Nigerians thinks that the development made can’t be good enough insofar as Boko haram, its affiliates and the bandits are still active in the North-East, North-West and some other parts of the nation, eliminating, maiming and kidnapping defenseless people, consisting of school children, and ruining and displacing unlucky communities.

“We, for that reason, call on Mr President to redouble his efforts and satisfy his primary electoral guarantee to guarantee and protect the country that Nigerians feel safe and remain safe and safe any place they remain in their own country.”

Guv Wike even more stressed the requirement for the Federal Government to make the gearing up of the militaries a concern.

He also revealed the contribution of the amount of N50million as a support fund that will assist widows of fallen heroes.
