United States Airstrikes Targets ISIS, Lakurawa Terrorists — Presidency
The Presidency has disclosed that the United States, US, airstrikes in Sokoto State targeted the ISIS and Lakurawa terrorist groups.
One of President Bola Tinubu’s spokesmen, Daniel Bwala, said the Islamic State militants came from the Sahel to work with the Lakurawa group and bandit gangs.
Speaking with AFP on Saturday, Bwala said: “ISIS found their way through the Sahel to go and assist the Lakurawa and the bandits with supplies and with training. ISIS, Lakurawa and bandits were targeted.”
The US carried out attacks on terrorist enclaves in Sokoto State on Christmas Day.
Confirming the attack, the Nigerian government said it was a coordinated operation with the US.
The Presidency has lashed out at the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, Peter Obi.
In a post on his verified X handle on Wednesday, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, described Obi as a copy-and-paste politician who cannot compete with Tinubu.
Onanuga claimed that Obi has nothing to showcase as Anambra governor for eight years.
He said, in contrast with Tinubu as Lagos State governor, he left a rail and road masterplan as governor, which is still being executed to this day.
“Peter Obi has never shown original, authentic thinking. He is a copy-and-paste politician. Willie Obiano, his successor, said Obi failed spectacularly in providing security in the state.
“Nigeria deserves a leader who can see beyond the ken of the ordinary people, a leader who is a proven deep thinker and doer.
“Peter Obi is no match for President Bola Tinubu. They are not on the same level,” he said.
