President Muhammadu Buhari said on Monday every criminal that has taken up arms against Nigerians would not be spared. The President, who stated this when he declared open the First Progressives Youth Conference organized by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, added that his administration would not spare any effort at tackling the current security challenges in the country. Represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, the President urged the APC youths to forge a better future for the party and the country. He said: “As you are all aware, we are currently dealing with some internal security challenges and I will like to reassure you that as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, no effort will be spared in tackling them. As I have repeatedly said in recent weeks, every criminal element that has taken up arms against the peace of the country and its citizens will be brought to book accordingly.” President Buhari also advised the nation’s youths to put past unpleasant experiences and controversies behind them. He said conscious efforts were being made to evenly spread infrastructural development, appointments, and projects across the six geopolitical zones in the country.
