“We congratulate Nigerians for this important milestone in the long and bitter struggle against the forces of evil that have wreaked so much suffering and hardship on our people in the last few years.

“We also congratulate the President for his dogged pursuit of the war against insurgency, we are happy that he has built on the efforts of his predecessors.

“Whatever we are witnessing now is as a result of all the efforts and sacrifices of the past and present administrations,” Adeyeye said.

He lauded the victory which earlier made it possible for elections to hold peacefully in almost all the local government areas in the North east states last year.

“We salute the men and women of our beloved armed forces for their courage, determination and sacrifice which made this achievement possible.

“The men and women of the Nigerian armed forces have served and continue to serve with distinction in many peace keeping operations all over the world.

“We salute them for fighting with great courage to keep the peace in their own country. ”

The PDP advised the government and the military not to rest on their oars.
