Insecurity: Flush out all criminals in your state, Buhari tells Akeredolu

PRESIDENT Muhammad Buhari, yesterday, asked Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, to flush out all the criminals in his state, especially the forest reserves.

He also told the new service chiefs in a close doors meeting that the country was in a state of emergency.

Akeredolu briefs Buhari:

Although the governor failed to grant State House correspondents an interview at the end of his close doors meeting with the President at Aso Rock in Abuja, his Information Commissioner, Donald Ojogo, disclosed the President’s call in a statement issued in Akure.

The statement read: “The governor seized the opportunity of the meeting to brief the President regarding the precarious security situation in the region, especially Ondo State.

“The governor met with the President at a meeting; and it centered on the issue of security concerns in the Southwest, especially in Ondo State.

“It was a huge opportunity for the governor to put the records straight as regards the erroneous impression that Governor Akeredolu had asked all Fulani and herdsmen to vacate the state.

“The meeting afforded both leaders a great window to explore ingenious methods to tackle the issue of insecurity in the region.

“In particular, Governor Akeredolu sought and, indeed, obtained the President’s support and encouragement to flush out criminals in the forests of Ondo State.”

The President also told the service chiefs that  it has not been easy to fulfill the promises he made to Nigerians 2015 which were  to secure the country, revive the economy, and fight corruption.
