The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation has described as misleading and unfounded, media reports that the President-in-waiting, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has pledged to end the scourge of Boko Haram insurgency in the country within two months.<\/p>\n
The Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, Garba Shehu, made the clarification in Abuja\u00a0\u00a0on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Shehu said, \u201cHis Excellency, the President-elect is still waiting to be sworn in on May 29. After the ceremony, he would need time to study the security situation and plan strategically with the security chiefs as to the way forward. Time is of essence here.\u201cTherefore, President Buhari didn\u2019t and wouldn\u2019t peg the decimation of terrorism from the country\u2019s territories to just two months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
