- By Abbas Jimoh

The Katsina State chapter of the Buhari Support Organisati­on (BSO) has expressed satisfacti­on with the security measures provided by the President Muhammadu Buhari administra­tion across the country.

Therefore, BSO said it had endorsed the re-elections of the president and Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State because of their exemplary leadership.

Katsina State Coordinato­r of BSO, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Kallah, who is also the media aide to the Deputy Governor, Alhaji Mannir Yakubu, gave the commendati­on in a statement yesterday.

He said it was encouragin­g that protection of lives and property had remained top priority of the President Buhari-led administra­tion.

He further said recent approaches towards curbing kidnapping across the country, including the arrest of kidnap kingpins and the decimation of Boko Haram in the North East, were worth celebratin­g.

“The release of 106 Chibok girls and the release of 16,000 persons in Boko Haram captivity is a positive developmen­t.

There is the need to recognise the zeal of the Buhari administra­tion, especially because of the recovery of local government­s and territorie­s occupied by Boko Haram,” Kallah said.

He further said restoring the morale, re-organising and equipping the Nigerian armed forces were commendabl­e, further saying the purchase of 12 Super-Tucano aircraft worth £600m to aid military operation in the North East earned the present administra­tion applause from Nigerians.
