According to the CSOs, the report, "reechoes that the President has frenetically tackled the insurgency with so much vigor, energy and resources."

"It stamps that the President has made the difference in counter-terrorism combat and deserving of loud accolades and commendations.

“Securing freedom for a greater number of the abducted Chibok and Dapchi schoolgirls and tens of thousands of other Nigerians held hostage by terrorists and the capture of Sambisa forest in Borno have been reflected in the report.

“Nigerians are persuaded to endorse and work assiduously for the reelection of President Buhari for a second term in office to finally lay to rest, the ghost of terrorism in Nigeria. A deviation from this trajectory would be disastrous," the communique read.
