APC Explains Why Buhari Right In Boko Haram War
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has explained why President Muhammadu Buhari was right with his decision to relocate military’s command and control centre from Abuja to Maiduguri.
The APC in a statement via Lai Mohammed, its national publicity secretary, said the rejuvenated military didn’t wait for insurgents to attack and started the fight first.
It defined as refreshing and reassuring the fact that service chiefs have been visiting the theatre of the battle in the North-east to meet with political and community leaders in the area.
“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,” it said.
“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,’’ APC said.
In his bid to crush the deadly Boko Haram sect President Muhammadu Buhari has moved the nation’s military headquarters from capital Abuja to Maiduguri, the epicentre of terror group Boko Haram’s insurgency.
After taking office on May 29, Buhari renewed his commitment to end insurgency and said the military would be relocated until the fight against Boko Haram (recently renamed Iswap) is over.
Maiduguri is the capital of Borno state, which together with Yobe and Adamawa bears the brunt of the attacks that have killed and displaced thousands of people in the north east of Nigeria since 2009.
