He said, “Peace and security is not just the security of the borders alone. It comes with having to build bridges across various divides.
“We as members of the Armed Forces will never in any way leave the peace and security of our nation in the hands of the terrorists. Rather it is us who will determine the peace and not for us to leave it in the hands of the terrorists.
“Nigerians expect us to bring about peace and security in concert with other security agencies. That we will do. We can’t live in fear. And we will ensure that whatever brings fear to Nigerians before now will be a thing of the past,” he said.Photo Credit: Getty
