‘They are seeking relevance’ — Buhari vows to deal with sponsors of terrorism

President Muhammadu Buhari says those financing terrorism in the country are seeking relevance.

The president spoke on Friday during an interview with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).

Buhari said any individual apprehended for financing acts of terror will be dealt with and made to face the law.

He said most of the terrorism financiers are wealthy individuals and those who are no longer in government.

The president also said it is unfair for Nigerians to say he’s not being tough on bandits.

He added that majority of Nigerians understand him and are appreciative of his efforts in securing the country.

The president noted that his goal is to leave Nigeria in better shape before leaving office.

“I’ll like to hand over a secure, confident, prosperous Nigeria,” he said.

He also reiterated that the youths must cooperate with his government to improve security in the country.

“It’s in your interest to ensure Nigeria is secure,” he said while addressing the youths.
