I feel pained anytime there’s an attack in the country — Pres. Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has said he’s always pained each time a breach of peace and insecurity occur in the country. The President, in his Christmas message to Nigerians also preached salvation just as he called for citizens’ support for the military and other security agencies.

“I cannot in good conscience shirk this cardinal responsibility to secure lives and property. I feel pained each time a breach of peace and security occurs in any part of the nation. I am even more distressed when our youths, especially school children, are the targets and victims of mindless and malevolent elements in the society.

He also promised that his administration would continue to give the military the needed support but urged them (the military) to do more to checkmate increasing incidents of security threats in the country.
