Expdonaloaded News; Boko Haram: Nigerian military can meet 3-month deadline –APC

ALL Progressives Con­gress (APC) has again hailed the Nigerian mili­tary for its string of suc­cesses in the battle against Boko Haram, saying the impressive performance has shown that the ter­ror group can indeed be defeated within the time stipulated by President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by its Na­tional Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the contin­ued push to dislodge the terrorists from their for­tress in Sambisa Forest and elsewhere, the dismantling of their major fuel depot and other logistics and the rescue of many innocent people from the clutches of the terrorists were clear indications that the mili­tary had gained the upper hand against Boko Haram.
It said the mere fact that the terrorists were now surrendering in droves to the gallant troops of the Nigerian military is the clearest indication yet that the bandits were feeling the tremendous heat which had been turned on them.
APC urged the troops to continue with their gal­lantry and patriotism until they have finally silenced the terror group that had caused the nation so much pain, stressing the need to step up intelligence gather­ing to stop the lone wolf suicide bombers.
The party also com­mended the Service Chiefs for their leadership, saying their personal examples – which have seen them on the battle-front many times – have made all the difference in motivating their troops.
