“I commiserate with my friend and brother, His Excellency Gov. Bello Matawalle, the Emirs & the people of Zamfara at this difficult time. I call on the Buhari administration & our Armed Forces to continue to seek out the terrorists for destruction & to bring them to justice.
“It is indeed time to consider the use of massive carpet-bombing of our forests and to deploy the newly-acquired American Tucano jets to finally rid our land of these evil forces that seek to destroy us all.
“May God defend our nation and deliver her from these murderous terrorists and evil and bloodthirsty savages that seek to crush and destroy us all.
“In the end, we shall surely prevail.”
