Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the President, Femi Adesina, has declared that Nigeria’s longstanding battle with insecurity can be won within the next 17 months.
While speaking on a show with Channels Television, the presidential spokesman quoted the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka as a case study.
He said; “Nothing is impossible. I always refer to the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka.
“That rebellion lasted for 28 years. But one day, the mastermind of that rebellion was taken out and that was the automatic ending of it.
“Those who are behind this insurgency will be taken out. They are being taken out one after the other and it will get to a point that the last of them will be taken out, and then we’ll get to the end of it. It can be done within 17 months that remains for this administration.”
