We Can't Say If Boko Haram Will Be Eradicated —Presidency Confess

Garba Shehu, SSA to President Buhari on Media and Publicity on Monday avowed that the administration cannot promise a total end to Boko Haram insurgency noting that terrorism has remained a stubborn phenomenon even in more advanced nations.

He however assured that the administration is doing its best to whittle down attacks in the North-East.

"Well, I can’t promise you that Boko Haram will or will not be eradicated, Shehu said, adding that "it (terrorism) is an ongoing challenge, globally."

“Even in more advanced countries, more ‘weaponised’ nations, it is still a challenge," he added.

“They have been greatly minimised and they are being pushed farther away from the national population.”

Shehu spoke on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily programme today in Abuja and answered questions about the thousands of Internally Displaced Persons who are drifting around the country as well as increasing attacks by the dreaded Boko Haram terrorists.

Recall that the Buhari-led administration in 2016 claimed it had completely defeated Boko Haram despite realities pointing otherwise.

Shehu also denounced the increase of small arms in the country, which he said has worsened the issue of banditry in the country.
