President Muhammadu Buhari has said Niger Delta militants and the activities of the Boko Haram insurgents undermined its administration from meeting expectations of Nigerians. He expressed regret that militants in the Niger Delta instigated by certain forces worsened the state of the economy by disrupting crude oil productions. “You residents of Abuja know a lot about our three fundamental campaign aspirations security, economy and fighting corruption. Boko Haram were holding more than 17 local governments in the northeast when we came, they are not holding any local government now. “We were doing that militants were unleashed on us but we have now overcome those difficulties and now building infrastructure.
