The 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 on Sunday 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 are clear indications that the military has

APC urged the troops to continue with their gallantry and patriotism until they have finally silenced the terror

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.
”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
