“I believe that we are on the right track, there will be some pains, but there is no alternative to what we are doing,’’ Lai Said.
He continued that “In the area of security, the minister said that when Buhari came on board, 14 of the 20 Local Government Areas of Borno, four in Adamawa and three in Yobe were under the sovereign authority of Boko Haram. But with proactive measures and soft diplomacy with neighbouring African countries, the U.S., France and the G-8 had helped the country to decisively deal with Book Haram,” he added.
