character and leadership style when he spoke with Journalists in Abuja

in the north east to deal with is insurgency, it is not the making of this
government, but this government has tried as much as possible to contain it and
I must proclaim, every now and then, Nigerians encourage us by saying that if
not for the character, candour, personality of the president, the insurgents
would have overrun more than half of Nigeria.
We would have been under occupation
of terrorists if not for the determination, the style and the character and
personality of the president.
“He has been able to offer
ceasefire, dialogue and other things to engage them, he has been trying all
sorts of methods and engaging them in serious warfare and Nigerians have noted
that if not for his character, Boko Haram would have overrun half of Nigeria.”

the Boko Haram insurgency since 2009, Boko Haram are reported to have killed
