He told the troops that though the army has recorded some successes, they should not rest on their oars until insurgency and other criminal activities are completely curtailed.
“I urge us all not to rest on oars but to continue until we completely defeat and destroy this insurgency and other criminal elements’ activities in our country and render it a more secure and peaceful nation,” Yahaya said.
“I also urge us all, anywhere we are, to remain resolute and determined and with our determination, commitment and prayers, we will get there.
“We have made some successes; we should not rest on our oars, but continue in that regard.”
