According to a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said President Buhari expressed concern that the continent was still grappling with acts and effects of terrorism after a successful de-colonisation campaign.
“A situation in which insecurity continues to obstruct the process of national development should not be allowed to continue”, the president said.

Very funny Buhari. He is proffering solutions to terrorism in Africa whereas he has not been able to provide workable solution to terrorism in Nigeria where he governs. Has he been able to defeat the boko haram terrorist.
Gaskiya, this man is sick.

A man of war will always remain a man of war. Buhari has offer practical panacea to insurgency and terrorism in Africa. Africa needs to harmonize and team up to fight terrorism as brothers.

Actually, Unity is what Africa needs to overcome terrorism, we don’t have all the equipment and expertise, but once we all can unite, we’d win battle against terrorism
