The Presidency has admitted that the war against Boko Haram insurgency has not ended, saying the terrorists have not been completely defeated.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, said this during his appearance on Channels Television’s political programme, Sunday Politics.
Despite the series of attack by the insurgents in recent times, the presidential aide noted that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has recorded a notable progress in the war against the insurgency.
“If the operating word is ‘totally’, the answer is no obviously – but has Boko Haram been degraded? I will say yes, terribly so,” said Adesina.
“Compare how Boko Haram was in 2015 when this administration came, they were virtually running riot everywhere – how many time was Kano bombed, how many time was Abuja bombed, how many time was Kogi bombed; Boko Haram was everywhere.”
