According to Tinubu: “We have been on this (Boko Haram) for some time, We have seen the reaction of the federal government, we have seen the reaction of the armed forces, this is no longer conventional warfare.

“We have been on this (insurgency) for sometime, We have seen the reaction of the federal government, we have seen the reaction of the armed forces, this is no longer a conventional warfare, this is more tactical, more reason, more crude.
“In such situation what we do is to replan our strategy. We have seen the governor’s life has been attacked more than one occasion in effort to eliminate him but Allah is mighty, he has protected and will continue to protect you”Tinubu said.”
Tinubu, who commiserated with the governor over the killing of farmers by Boko Haram insurgents, said it was impossible to make meaningful development under insurgency.
