Running mate to General Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has said tackling insurgency is not a new terrain for General Buhari, adding that the former head of state will, as a commander-in-chief in 2015, rout the dreaded Boko Haram sect out of the country.

Osinbajo made the promise on Tuesday, when his campaign train hit Iyana-Ipaja in Lagos, saying that Nigeria needed a commander-in-chief to solve the problem of insurgency.

According to Osinbajo, Buhari remained the right person to address the menace of Boko Haram in the country, recalling that the APC presidential candidate had a record to rely upon, having quelled the Maitasine uprising as head of state in 1984.

“On security, you need a commander-in-chief, Buhari as head of state solved and quell Matasine riot,” he said.

The APC vice presidential candidate also gave other recipes to insecurity.

According to him, other approach included equipping the military properly and providing jobs for the country’s teeming youths, who are desperately looking for jobs,

Speaking further, Osinbajo said it was the resolve of APC to create 20,000 new jobs in every state of the federation within the first six months of the administration of General Buhari.

“Every country must provide for its youths, every country must make provision for its youths. We promise that we will create 20,000 jobs in every state in the first six months. We will provide free education, we will provide universal insurance scheme.

“We will bring a change and come 2015, APC will form the government at the centre. We are believing you and we are believing God. If you vote for Buhari, in six months, you will not recognise this country.

“There is nothing we promise that we will not do. There will be provision for power. It has commenced in Lagos. All these are not difficult. Before our turn, we have been doing it, it will be our turn and you will see the difference. The coming year is for change and everybody will profit from the change,” he promised.
