President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday declared that his government has weakened Boko Haram.
He said this in reaction to the attack on Garkida in Adamawa State.
Buhari, in a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, condemned the attack and assured that no part of Nigeria would be abandoned.
He said: “These attacks on soft targets by the terrorists are obvious signs of frustration because my administration has significantly weakened Boko Haram’s military capability to invade and hold Nigerian territory unchallenged.

“Our gallant forces deserve our appreciation for repelling the attackers but they must go beyond this point. They have our full support to go after the terrorists and have them pay a huge price.
”I want to assure the country that terrorists will continue to face the combined power of our military until they give up their mistaken ways.
“These occasional and episodic attacks on poor civilians by the terrorists are mere propaganda efforts to portray them as strong in order to fool the public into believing that they haven’t been militarily weekend by our gallant troops.”
Buhari assured that in the coming weeks, Nigerians would witness an aggressive campaign to rout Boko Haram once and for all.
“Security will continue to be well funded despite the competing needs of social services.
”I appeal to Nigerians to continue to support our troops in their gallant efforts to protect the citizens and secure the country,” he added.
