The governor also expressed his gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari, noting that without his love and large heart at providing resources for training and retraining of the country’s armed forces, their performances in handling the security challenges the country was passing through would have not been possible.

“Above all, I thank the Commander in Chief, President Muhammadu Buhari, because if he did not provide the resources the Nigerian Air Force and other armed forces would not be where they are today.
