Governors of Jigawa, Kano, Yobe, Adamawa, Borno, Katsina, Kaduna and Sokoto states have assured President Muhammadu Buhari that the whole country is behind him in his efforts to secure the country and make it safe for all.
They are of the view that there cannot be any meaningful development without security.
The governors, who joined some of their colleagues from South-East, South-South, South-West and North Central states who made earlier calls to commend the President on the conquest of Sambisa Forest from Boko Haram said that Nigerians and the wolrd are celebrating the feat.
They congratulated the President and the leadership of the armed forces for the takeover of the Sambisa Forest from the Boko Haram terrorists even as they paid tributes to the brave servicemen and women who made supreme sacrifices in the liberation of the Sambisa Forest and hoped that their services will never be forgotten.
They advised the President to mobilize all resources, both human and material, to sustain the gains made so far in the fight against terrorism and economic sabotage, adding that the attainments of the armed forces under his leadership was something that was never in doubt at the time of his election in 2015.
The Governors called on the United Nations, the United States, the European Union, the rich countries of Asia, the Mideast and international aid and donor agencies, to raise their support to Nigeria in order to quicken the pace of the resettlement and rehabilitation of the millions of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in camps across the country.
