Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu has said it took President Muhammadu Buhari’s leadership to halt Boko Haram ’s march towards Aso Rock in 2015 . He also announced that Nigeria now ranks as the world’ s second largest producer of rice . Shehu said this at a special interactive session with students of various tertiary institutions , in Abuja, on Saturday . The event was organised by the Pro - Buhari Support for Good Governance in Nigeria . He assured members of the group that their support for the President would not be in vain noting that as an individual , Buhari has attained heights most men can only dream about . According to him, in his youth, the President chose a career in the military and rose to become an army general and went on to become military Head- of - State . On the war against Boko Haram terrorists, Shehu said , “ Look at all of the way the efforts that have been put in rolling back Boko Haram ; there are many people who believe that if not for President Muhammadu Buhari, had PDP continued in this country in 2015 , they would have taken over Aso Rock by now . ” On the economy he said , “ The president is working hard to restructure the economy , this is very much misunderstood by Nigerians . Unfortunately , it is easier to destroy than to build . “ We met a situation that the economy had been ravaged and people are used to lifestyles that can no longer be sustained. No country will develop when you are having to import everything including tooth pick and tissue paper. “ All of the money earned was just going to buy food . As I speak to you now Nigeria just achieved the record of the second largest of rice in the world. “ The rice revolution just started a year ago. A newspaper did an investigation in Kebbi and they found out that there were 48 ,000 new millionaires in Kebbi state alone for growing rice . Over reliance on oil has killed this country and we cannot continue like this.”

I thought you'd rather buttressed on your caption. There'§ no summarized detail of what you captioned earlier rather I spotted a digression which is totally out of it.

If they don't capture Aso Rock is it the masses they should capture?

The Buhari govt keeps threatening Nigerians of how things would be worse than the hell hole Nigeria is now .. that's the hallmark of evil people that love to manipulate others

As their main sponsor now? He cut their funding so they cant overrun aso rock

They should take it na.. Who the Aso rock help na..

Restructure the country .

The country is casted !

Just believe.

Boko haram are Buhari boys

"A fight against Boko haram is a fight against the north"

if not for buhari? is aso rock a space or Pluto better than where they have taken over?



I don't know why this people can't keep silent sometimes

You mean our exported vegetable to London.

Vegetable Buhari.

I Stand With Civilian JTF

Buhari technically defeated Boko Haram then practically gave us Fulani Herdsmen. Someone says they're not terrorists?

People just derive pleasure in shamelessly spewing trash.smh................

APC JUST CONSOLING THEM SELF. I wish them burn that as.... Let me reserve my words

Boko haram is already in Aso rock with buhari displaying their flag as the chief patron

lies can only be told to those who refuse to do research & expand their minds...

by April 2015, Boko Haram was fast becoming a spent force...

it was the removal of check points in the North & ransoms paid by this regime that gave it fresh impetus...

as much as PMB deserves applause for his efforts so far (barring the aforementioned errors) facts will always remain sacred...

Garba Shehu should be made to understand that Security matter are outside his brief as an SA to President Buhari. He should refrain from saying and issuing statements that will break Nigeria. Spewing out divisive oratical press releases will not help our nation. Most Nigerians are in support of ONE NIGERIA!
