“So I am here to brief him on the security situation in the state. The operation is ongoing and is going on successfully. I am rushing back there to visit the troops in order to boast their morale.
“I believe the security agencies are doing their best and we will continue as government to give them the support needed to make the operation successful.
“We are hoping that the military will remain there for longer time and we are ready to take care of their logistics.
