“The victory is in fulfillment of one of the key promises made by the party to protect the citizenry and effectively secure all Nigerian territory.”

The All Progressive Congress (APC) has said that the victory over Boko Haram is a fulfilment of one of the promises made to Nigerians by the Buhari’s administration.

The party said this following the announcement by President Muhammadu Buhari on the capture of Sambisa forest by men of the Nigerian army, in a statement released on Sunday, December 25, saying

According to the statement which was issued by the All Progressive Congress (APC) National publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullah, the capture of Sambisa Forest is well-deserved and a welcome development.

“Friday’s capture of Sambisa forest, Boko Haram’s last stronghold is well-deserved and a welcome development following the vigorous and focused leadership the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration has provided in the fight against insurgency in the north east.”

Speaking further on the success of Operation Lafiya Doyle as one of the promises made by the Buhari-led Administration and the APC, the statement reads:

In addition, the party made it known to Nigerians that the government would not relent on its effort and success made so far, particularly to ensure that internally displaced persons return to their homes.

“Going forward, the priority of government is to intensify ongoing efforts at re-constructing and rehabilitating the north east so that displaced persons can return to their peaceful and productive lives.”

The party has also commended Nigerians, who have helped through their prayers and support to men of the Armed forces.
