SAN FRANCISCO, March 25, (THEWILL) – Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said Nigeria must not lose sight of its war against Boko Haram, even as the nation battles the novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Atiku, who was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 Presidential elections, made this know in reaction to the death of 47 soldiers killed by insurgents.
Atiku, in a tweet on his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday Night, said his thoughts and prayers are with the fallen.
He said, “The ambush and killing of scores of our gallant soldiers by terrorists in Gorgi Village, Borno State is a reminder that even as we are focused on the battle against coronavirus, we must never lose track of the Boko Haram war.”
