Insecurity: Losing Attahiru, other officers has increased our problems ―Buhari

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has said the deaths of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru and 10 other military officers have increased Nigeria’s security challenge.

He regretted that the bad incident happened at a time the country is battling security challenges.

Buhari spoke, on Monday, when he received a delegation from the Nigeria Governors Forum who came to the presidential villa, Abuja to condole with him on Friday’s air crash that happened in Kaduna.

The president said, “This is a situation that only God knows when it will happen and it happened at a time when the security situation in the country is a fundamental issue.

“And to lose choice officers has increased our problem but we know what we are in for and we will continue to work hard and pray hard so that God will give us the power to appreciate and apply ourselves to the problem.

“The people who elected us, they know the promises we made within the time…the circumstances which we find ourselves…we will keep on trying and continue to do our best.”

On his part, the president of the Nigerian Governors Forum, Fayemi said the death of the officers was a big blow.
