Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Leut.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, the immediate past Chief of Army Staff, COAS, has expressed confidence that insurgency in the country, especially in the North East will end soon.<\/p>\n

Buratai spoke during the Pulling Out Parade held in his honour at the Mogadishu Cantonment in Abuja on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me thank my governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum. He has been supportive to me and of course, the Nigerian Army, especially in the fight against insurgency,\u201d Buratai said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe came with a unique leadership and I assure you, collectively, the Nigerian Army and the Borno State Government will end this insurgency within the shortest possible time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to urge the COAS to maintain the momentum and the pressure to rid these last vestiges of the terrorists in the north-east,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The former army chief handed over to his successor, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Buratai and the other heads of security in the country resigned during the week and their resignation were immediately accepted by Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

The Presidency also announced the appointment of the new security chiefs to introduce new ideas in the lingering battle against bandits and Boko Haram.<\/p>\n

The new service chiefs, as DAILY POST had earlier reported, are: Major-General Leo Irabor as Chief of Defence Staff; Air Vice Marshal Isiaka Oladayo Amao as Chief of Air Staff; Rear Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo as Chief of Naval Staff; and General Ibrahim Attahiru as Chief of Army Staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
