Terrorism must be banished – Tinubu
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has vowed to banished the imported terrorism in Africa.
The president said this at the opening of African high-level counter-terrorism meeting hosted by the federal government on Monday.
“This violent threat seeks to frighten the farmer from his field, children from their schools, women from the marketplace and families from their very homes. It wants the city dweller to cower and businesses to close.

“It craves despotism and suppression, not democracy and enlightened society. Its goal is to cause such havoc that we doubt our democratic principles, putting societies and governments into such confusion and disarray that we begin fighting among ourselves instead of fighting the very thing that seeks our destruction.
“We must tell this imported evil that wants to bend and break us, that it shall do neither. Instead of making us bow, we shall banish it,” he concluded.
