The presidency through the Special Assistant to the President on Public Communication, Dr. Doyin Okupe yesterday at a media briefing in Abuja debunked claims that the President is afraid of Boko Haram sect.
I his words as he reacted to the low key independence day celebration and the newly introduced special brigade battalion at the Aso Rock, he said “The President was not and is not afraid of the sect. To say he celebrated the anniversary in his bedroom because of Boko Haram sect is an insult.”
“We are dealing with a very serious sect, Boko Haram, and I am surprised that people are asking why the
 President is ensuring that his security is beefed up. “Under this circumstance, the President is the commander-in-chief. When you go to war; the commander-in-chief is the one in charge. “When you go to war, in those days the man that carries the flag, when he falls down, that is the end of the war. “So, you have to make sure that he (the C-in-C) stands and stands erect. The fact that the security in the Villa is beefed up is borne out of necessity and circumstances.”
