Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the country will ultimately defeat terrorism and banditry.
The president gave the assurance on Friday during an interfaith breaking of fast with the nation’s Service Chiefs, following the recent bandit attack on a community in Borno State.
Reacting to the incident, Tinubu expressed sympathy to the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, and residents of the state affected by the attack.
“My sympathy goes to Vice President Shettima, the entire country and the people of Borno State over the incident that occurred in Borno State. I’ve made a call to Governor Zulum to share the pain with him.
“And if you talk to him too, please remember to reinforce our love and sincere concern and commitment that freedom could be difficult and challenging at this period.
“We appreciate all the people are facing; the challenges of terrorism and banditry but I can assure you that we will win the war. Nigeria will prevail.”
The president’s comments came as security forces continue operations against insurgents and armed bandits in several parts of the country.
