“Let me seize this opportunity to appreciate the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his support in ensuring that we have peace and security in Yobe State.
“I also wish to express our profound gratitude to the men and officers of the security agencies, as well as members of the vigilante groups and hunters, for their dedication and gallantry,” he said.
