B'Haram: APC Commends Nigerian Army

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the Nigerian army for its successful operations in the battle against the Boko Haram sect. The party has also assured Nigerians that the terror group can be defeated within the time stipulated by President Muhammadu Buhari.
 
Premium Times reports that the APC expressed its assurance in a statement issued on Sunday, September 27, by Lai Mohammed, the party’s national publicity secretary.
According to the APC, the continued push to dislodge the terrorists from their hideouts, the dismantling of their major fuel depot and other logistics, and the rescue of many innocent people from the terrorist sect are clear indications that the military has gained the upper hand against Boko Haram.
The party said that the terrorists are feeling the tremendous heat, which has been turned on them; therefore, they are now surrendering in droves to the gallant troops of the Nigerian army.

The APC called on the troops to continue with their gallantry and patriotism, stressing the need to step up intelligence gathering to stop the lone wolf suicide bombers.
The party also praised the service chiefs for their leadership, noting that their personal examples always motivate their troops.
“The bigger picture of the impending Boko Haram defeat is the restoration of the much-vaunted capability of the Nigerian military and its globally-acclaimed professionalism that have vaulted Nigeria to the elite group of top global peace-keeping nations.
“The sharp turnaround in the war against Boko Haram, which had hitherto seen the terrorists gaining territories and striking at times and places of their own choosing, is also an indication of what a nation can achieve under a purposeful, committed, disciplined and sincere leadership,” the statement read in part.


Meanwhile, the Nigerian army sent “a final warning” to some prominent individuals and political groups who hail from Borno state against sabotage of the efforts to end terrorism.
Sani Usman, the army spokesman, raisd the alarm by saying:
“The unscrupulous individuals and their cohorts were determined to reverse the gains made and scuttle our efforts of achieving the Presidential directive to defeat Boko Haram terrorists within 3 months. They are enlisting the services of some Non-Governmental Organizations in this grand design.”
