Buhari stated this in an interview aired on Friday on the verified Instagram page of CNN Africa while responding to doubts about his ability to run the country for a second term.
The interviewer had asked the President, “ This is a vibrant democracy. You came in, unseating the incumbent. Are you worried the same could happen to you?”
To this, Buhari responded, “No. Nobody would unseat me.”
He added , “I am ready to take this country forward for the next four years . ”
When asked his plans for containing the terror in the North – East , the President insisted that Boko Haram was no longer “ technically ” having a grip on any local government area in the region .
He said , “We have 774 local governments in this country. They ( Boko Haram ) used to hold 17 . They are not technically holding any local government now .
“But they are indoctrinating young men and women , especially girls , wrap them up with explosives and let them explode them in soft targets like churches, mosques, marketplaces , motor parks and other places.”
Buhari added , “Of course , we are doing our best (to contain the terror ) and we thank some foreign countries in Europe and the United States for training our armed forces and going to the battlefront to see how they have performed . ”
