President Muhammadu Buhari has said the people of Borno State have confirmed to him that the dreaded Boko Haram terrorist sect has been fully decimated.<\/p>\n

He made the statement while addressing supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during his presidential campaign in Birnin Kebbi on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He also said his government had subsidised fertilisers to the country\u2019s teeming farmers, thereby resulting in bumper agricultural harvest in the country.<\/p>\n

The President, however, urged the people not to relent in farming, saying Nigerians should go back to farms so as to help the country move away from over-dependence on oil to agriculture.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in Kebbi in 2015, during my campaigns and I made three promises: To transform the economy, boost security, as well as fight corruption, head long,\u201d the APC presidential candidate said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn security, the people of Borno have yesterday confirmed that Boko Haram have been fully decimated.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201dOn agriculture, the last two rainy seasons had recorded bumper harvests, as such , food security is highly guaranteed in the county as we have reduced the importation of rice by 90 per cent, and we have also provided subsidised fertilisers to our teeming farmers.<\/p>\n

\u201dWhile hoping that similar bumper harvests would be recorded this year, I am appealing to Nigerians to go back to farm for subsistence and for sale and they should not relent in efforts to achieve that,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n
