Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina has said Muhammadu Buhari will be leaving the country in a better state in terms of fighting insecurity than he met it.

The presidential aide insisted that the president has done his best in tackling Nigeria’s multifarious security challenges since he assumed office in May 2015.

Adesina made this assertion while responding to the fact that verifiable data reveals that between May 2015 and May 2022.

It was reported that over 55,000 Nigerians were killed by terrorists, bandits, and armed gangs.

However, During Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday, Adesina insisted that his principal has done his best and would be leaving power with better security records than he met in 2015.

“The figure has been coming down progressively over the years and it’s a fact of history. Nobody can change it.”

“In 2015, we knew where Nigeria was. Minimum of 17 local governments in this count[/b]ry were under the control of insurgents”. He said.

Asked whether the situation has improved, he responded, “Far better”.

“Talking of control, I mean they were sitting in emir palaces. They sit in the seats of the local government chairmen. NYSC could not even do orientation. They could not even post people to those places.

“Is that what happens today? No. The emirs are back in their palaces. The local government chairmen are back in their offices.

NYSC orientation is opening in those states and corpers are being posted to those states. Are you now telling me there has been no improvement? No, let’s be factual,” the presidential spokesman said.
