Chadian President Visits Aso Rock, Tells Buhari How To Wipe Out Boko Haram

Chadian President, Marshal Idris Deby Itno, has expressed assurance that the Armies of the four countries under Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) can remove the Boko Haram terrorists.

The Chadian President on Saturday spoke while responding to interrogation from State House correspondents after an official visit to President Muhammadu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The Chadian First Citizen said terrorism remains an issue in the Lake Chad Basin and the Sahel region of Africa because the MNJTF has not been carrying out enough required operations.

He discussed the situation at the MNJTF with President Buhari, saying a situation where the joint military outfit embarks on just one operation in a whole year has made the fight difficult.

Marshal Into expressed optimism that with the new strategies being deployed and new officers with fresh ideas being assigned to take over commands at both national and regional levels, the menace of the various terror groups, including Boko Haram and the Islamic State, West African Province (ISWAP), would be addressed permanently.

“However, with the new security apparatus that has been put in place with the new security chiefs and not only in Nigeria, but even on the Multinational Joint Task Force itself, which also has a new leadership, that we’re hopeful now that with new strategies, and new dynamism, that we’ll be able to address definitively the issue of Boko Haram.

“All the countries participating are taking responsibility, none of them is shirking their responsibilities and the military of all the countries also have that sense of responsibility of what needs to be done and what their obligation is, which is to protect all the countries and that they are fully on track for that and that with this new security architecture, we’re hopeful that the things will get much better and it will be done all together.”
