President Muhammadu Buhari says it is the duty of security
agencies to know terrorists’ hideouts.
Buhari said this on Monday while responding to questions
from journalists after he joined other Muslims to observe the Eid-el-Fitr
prayers at the Mambilla barracks parade ground in Abuja.
Speaking on insecurity, the president said his
administration would continue to work to make Nigeria secure for citizens.
He also charged the heads of security agencies in the
country to rise up to their responsibilities, and go after the terrorists
troubling the nation.
“We’ll continue to make the environment secure, especially
when the rainy season is coming, so that farmers can go back to their farms and
we wouldn’t have problem of food security,” he said.
“Heads of the services — army, navy, air force, the
inspector-general of police and so on — are very much aware of the situation.
It’s their duties to know where the terrorists are and eliminate them.”
On the 2023 general election, the president said his
administration remains committed to ensuring a free, fair and transparent
process.
When asked who he would like to hand over power to, Buhari
said: “the person that Nigerians elect”.
In his message during the Eid service, Dahiru Shua Mohammed,
the acting chief imam of Mambilla barracks, spoke on the need for Muslims to
embrace genuine repentance from sin, as well as promote love for one another,
forgiveness, and tolerance.
Special prayers were offered for an end to the challenges
bedeviling the country, peaceful 2023 elections, as well as sustainable
national unity, stability and prosperity.
