Senator Sani made the remark on Thursday saying that Buhari fought Boko Haram in the North East but his successor will be inheriting the same Boko Haram which has expanded and other insurgent groups that emerged during Buahri’s administration including ISIS (ISWAP), Ansaru, gunmen and bandits who are terrorising most parts of the country.
Former Nigerian federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari inherited Boko Haram insurgents operating in the North East region of the country when he assumed office in 2015 but he is leaving behind more insurgent groups for his successor.

Sani, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly said, “President of Nigeria inherited a War with Boko Haram Insurgents which he fought in the North East; And he is leaving behind for his successor an expanded war with Boko, ISIS, Ansaru, Gunmen and Bandits. Security must be the top agenda of the next administration.”
In the buildup to the 2015 presidential election, Buhari promised to subdue Boko Haram insurgents who have been operating particularly in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital in the Northeastern region since 2002, within a short period.
However, not only is Boko Haram still alive, other parts of Nigeria have been overwhelmed by insecurity with the emergence and bloody activities of other terrorist groups including bandits, ISWAP and Ansaru in the North, and gunmen in the Southern part of the country.
