If PDP had remained in power, many people believe Boko Haram would have taken over Aso Rock —Garba Shehu

Garba Shehu has argued that had the
PDP remained in power after 2015, the
dreaded Boko Haram sect would have
taken over Aso Rock
Presidential spokesperson, Garba
Shehu says many people believe that
Boko Haram would have taken over
power if the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) had remained in power after
2015, The Cable reports.
The spokesperson said this in Abuja at
an interactive session with Nigerian
youths over the weekend.
According to him, the president has
done a lot in terms of security as he
has curtailed the activities of the Boko
Haram insurgents.
“Look at all of the way the efforts that has
been put in rolling back Boko Haram.
There are many people who believe that if
not for president Muhammadu Buhari, PDP
had continued in this country in 2015 they
would have taken over Aso Rock by now.
We have achieved so much in terms of
security,” Shehu said.
Speaking on the policy of
whistleblowing, he said it is an
opportunity for Nigerians to make
money.
“The important policy of whistle blower
that the president has instituted, it gives an
opportunity to me, you and to every citizen
of this country,” he said.
“If you see stolen money going anywhere,
you will not only be honoured for pointing
it out for discovery but you can earn a
commission. So reward by exposing that.
About 10 million USD and they give 2.5 of
that. That money can change one’s life.”
While appealing for patience on the
part of Nigerians toward the
president, he said: “President
Muhammadu Buhari is a long distance
runner he is not looking for short-term
gain that people will just clap at him and
those advantages just disappear.
“The jobs are being created last year we
promised half a million jobs, the economy
couldn’t support it but before the close of
the year we had done more than 300,000
the balance that will be carried into the
new year.
“And another 500,000 will be given jobs
and I’m happy that the economy is getting
better, oil price is going up and the policies
of government in the Niger Delta are
beginning to calm things down.
“You can see that exploration and
exportation of oil is growing, gas is coming
back and power is getting better. He wants
to build a future of prosperity, a future that
will be everlasting. Something that will
stay for generation upon generation and I
assure that this is a beginning of the good
things to come.”
