During another visit to Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State, Monguno stated, “We are going to collaborate with all sectors of the society to restore peace and unity in the North East. We are all affected by this terrorism that has claimed the lives of many of children, parents, guardians, traditional and religious leaders and some sacked from towns and villages over the years. We want you also to help us with credible information to end this insurgency.”
“We need the civil society to end this insurgency. I will be deceiving you if I say it will take the military alone to solve this insurgency. We are here to tell you we are up to the task, but it is a two-way traffic, we need your assistance. We need information and they (the people) need to come out of the closets to assist us.
“I know there has been mutual suspicion in the past, but it is time to work together to put an end to this insurgency.”
