“ As a government, we are working hard to contain and address these challenges. And ensure that the 2023 general elections are safe and secure for all Nigerians.
“To achieve this, however, we must all contribute. It is not the job of government alone.
“ I ask all citizens to support and cooperate with our security agencies by reporting any suspicious characters and activities to law enforcement agencies.
We can only have a safe country if we are able to prevent crime not after the crime has been committed.
“On this special day, I want us all to put all victims of terrorist activities in our thoughts and prayers.
“ I am living daily with the grief and worry for all those victims and prisoners of terrorism and kidnapping.
“ I and the security agencies are doing all we can to free those unfortunate countrymen and countrywomen safely.
” For those who have lost their lives, we will continue to seek justice for their families against the perpetrators. For those currently in captivity, we will not stop until they are freed, and their kidnappers are brought to justice. If we all unite, we will be victorious against these agents of terror and destruction.
“ We have reformed some of our security structures. Some of the defence assets we procured three years ago have arrived and have been deployed.
