Kwankwaso disclosed that the efforts of the Tinubu’s fight against terrorism is seen in the fact that the Niger authorities are are considering taking measures of guarding their boarders with Nigeria to stop the inflow of terrorist as they are bursted in Nigeria.
The APC stalwart added that”Just of recent, some security analysts in Niger are putting pressure on the government to protect their boarders to stop any possible inflow of the terrorists to their country from Nigeria.
“They see this as very necessary in order not to allow the terrorists form new dens in their country as they are chased out of Nigeria.
“This is enough reason for the ACF to support the current fight against insecurity because it is already having impact and there is fear that they are even running out of the country” he added.
