While acknowledging that there were still security challenge, he said the APC-led government was responding “creditably”.

The DG, in a statement on Sunday, said: “A major gap being exploited by the opposition against the APC and the Federal Government is that official communication both by the APC and the Federal Government are passive and reactive,”

Lukman said: “Consequently, the opposition is succeeding in taking advantage of this reality to unfairly portray both the APC and President Buhari in bad light.

He further said: “In both the North-west and North-central, problems of cattle rustling were rampant. Kidnapping was also there in many parts of the South-South and Southeast,” 

“To worsen matters, there was the 2014 corruption case of 2.1 billion dollars meant for arms procurement, which was diverted by PDP-led administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

“It is true that the problem of cattle rustling in the Northwest and North-Central has graduated to banditry, and it is assuming a war situation.

“However, it should be recognised also that the fight against Boko Haram has made significant progress. Unlike before 2015 when most parts of the Northeast were under the control of insurgents, this is no longer the case.”
