Bola Tinubu - "President Buhari has achieved what his predecessor Goodluck Jonathan could not achieve"
He said the Buhari-led administration has been able to subdue Boko Haram.
"With the courage
and dedication of the military, Boko Haram has been subdued. Also, notable and
significant progress is being made against corruption. Press freedoms and civil
liberties are protected, putting to lie those who cried that President Buhari
would not respect democracy and rule of law.” Commending the military for
defeating Boko Haram, Tinubu said “This vile force has been reduced to where it
no longer poses a strategic threat. You have done so well as a military can in
putting down this amorphous danger. The nation thanks you. I must say here,
however, that we cannot lower our guard. We have learned cardinal lessons from
the Boko Haram crisis. First, we must govern justly and for the benefit of the
people to prevent the recurrence of violent extremism in the future. Widespread
poverty caused by an unjust allocation of income, wealth and resources provides
fertile ground for extremist ideologies, that run contrary to the inclusive
democracy we seek to perfect”he said
