The Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Garbai, when he received a coalition of civil society organisations in his palace in Maiduguri on Friday expressed optimism that the Boko Haram insurgency would end soon.
He said it was unfortunate that the insurgency had negatively affected the social and economic development of the state.
The monarch recalled that in its over 1000 years of existence, Borno had witnessed similar crisis in the past but came out stronger.
“We will surely overcome the #BokoHaram crisis like we overcame those crisis in the past,’’ Garbai said.
He said what was needed was prayers and commitment by the Federal Government in fighting Boko Haram.
“I believe that with prayers from the people and commitment on the part of the state and the Federal Government we will overcome this.
“Borno will soon overcome the security challenges and regain its lost glory as ‘Home of Peace,’” Garbai said.
