Party says military has been effective under Buhari's leadership

He also commended the service chiefs for visiting the North-East to meet with the troops and community leaders.

 

The All Progressives Congress (APC), through its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, on Monday said that the military has become more effective in its fight against terrorists.

Mohammed said “now taking the battle straight to the insurgents, instead of waiting for them to attack.”

He added that the appointment of the new service chiefs boosted the morale of the rank and file of the Nigerian military.

The party further said that "The stepped-up fight against Boko Haram has convinced Nigerians that, indeed, their military is getting its groove back, and can beat the three-month deadline set by President Muhammadu Buhari for Boko Haram to be defeated."

Adding that “The renewed battle has also shown that President Buhari was right in directing the relocation of the military’s command and control centre from Abuja to Maiduguri."

“Watching the video clip of Nigerian Air Force jets pounding targets in Sambisa Forest, which is the fortress of the insurgents, over the weekend, arouses great pride in the military,” it said.
