Pro. Yemi Osinbajo
Acting
President, Yemi Osinbajo, has given a stern warning to flush out any
group of cabals that want to hold Nigeria to ransom, under the guise of
insurgency or militancy.
Osinbajo, gave this warning on
Tuesday, at the 16th edition of the National Productivity Day and
Conferment of National Productivity Order of Merit Award, on some
individuals and corporate bodies.
Osinbajo
maintained that he was committed to the All Progressives Congress’,
APC, promise to fight against terrorism, anti-corruption, and the
development of the economy to create jobs.
His
words: “Boko Haram has been defeated, and its members are only
resorting to cowardly attacks on soft targets, killing innocent men,
women and children.
Despite this, the residents of Borno, Yobe, and
Adamawa States, including several neighbouring States, are now going
about their daily business in relative safety.
“Besides
Boko Haram, a new insurgency has arisen in the form of blowing up gas
and oil pipelines, by groups of Niger Delta militants.
This
administration will not allow them to hold the country to ransom. While
security is being beefed up in the areas, we shall intensify our
on-going dialogue with the various stakeholders in the region.”
Restating
the Muhammadu Buhari administration’s commitment to the country and the
citizenry, Osinbajo said: “We are working tirelessly and will continue
to do so with hard work, diligence, and honesty. Delivery may be a bit
slow, but the promised change will come in no distant time."
