Buni, in a statement by the director-general, Press and Media Affairs, Mamman Mohammed noted, “The security chiefs also have the wealth of experience and confidence of Nigerians to lead the fight against insecurity in Nigeria.
“As people from the frontline states, we commend the federal government and security agencies for the tremendous achievements recorded in the states.
