    Boko Haram Was A Plot To Destroy Nigeria, Buhari Tells Bishop Kukah, Others

    By Amina IbrahimJanuary 11, 2023

    PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has said Boko Haram a plot to destroy Nigeria.

    The President stated this while receiving Executive members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), led by the Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah, at the State House, Abuja.

    He faulted the ideology of the terrorist group which barred people from seeking knowledge thereby affecting the intellectual growth of citizens.

    President Buhari said the gains recorded in security would be further consolidated, and more attention would be given to the economy, before handing over on May 29, 2023.

    The President said the security situation had improved over the years, particularly in the North East where the focus had shifted to rebuilding infrastructure and re-orientation on education.

    “I am very grateful for your visit to the Presidential Villa, and I agree with you on some of the observations you have made. The question of insecurity is most important to us because unless a country or institution is at peace, it will be difficult to manage.

    “I just came back from Adamawa and Yobe States. During the visit to both states, I listened carefully to what the people and officials had to say. And they all said the situation had improved since 2015, especially in Borno State.

    “Boko Haram was just fraudulent and a plot to destroy Nigeria. You can’t say people should not learn; the people need to grow intellectually,’’ he said.

    President Buhari, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, told the Catholic Bishops that the government would continue rebuilding infrastructure in parts of the country affected by terrorist attacks, while underscoring that terrorists had no control over any space in Nigeria.
    “Some people have acknowledged the difference,’’ he added.

    On the economy, the President said creditors had full confidence in Nigeria, with the capacity to utilise resources and repay loans before the approvals were granted.

    “We are credible, that’s why the countries and institutions agreed to support our development with the loans,’’ he stated.

    President Buhari said the destruction of oil facilities slowed the generation of revenues, and the government would be harder on saboteurs.

    “If you look at the economy, we are trying hard to rely more on ourselves. Nigerians rely more on agriculture for livelihood, and we are putting in our best to enable more people, and diversify,’’ the President added.
