The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, John Onaiyekan, has commended the Federal Government for its efforts at ensuring that the military reclaim territories formerly controlled by Boko Haram.
Onaiyekan, who he spoke at a cocktail for the Diplomatic Community in Abuja said, ” I think we should congratulate the government because Boko Haram no longer control large territories of our country but all the credit will not go to the President Muhammadu Buhari. It started from the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
“What is left is to find a way of bringing reconciliation and peace in the affected area. There are many people who have been injured, angry apart from the fact that Boko Haram had done a lot of distraction in their life.
“We have to work on that seriously for this to happen. We need a whole lot of good will and patient.”
He also said there was nothing wrong with the December deadline issued by President Buhari to end the menace of Boko Haram.
“People always set targets. If you are not lucky, you will get there and if you are not lucky you may not get there.
“Insurgency does not end easily, what I can say is that they have managed to ensure that Boko Haram is no longer a structured and organize fighting force.”
