Boko Haram deadline: Group lauds Buhari’s zeal
Ahead of the December deadline to the military to end insurgency by Boko Haram sect, a group known as Concerned Professionals’ Congress, CPC has said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s sincerity, zeal and clarity of purpose have played major roles in the success of the Nigerian military in degrading and defeating the insurgents.
The group’s coordinator, Tukur Musa Tilde and the Chief Media Strategist, Emeka
Nwapa, who jointly addressed the press in Lagos yesterday said that the stage
for the systematic fall of Boko Haram was set on May 29 at the Eagles Square
inauguration ground in Abuja when he served an expiration notice to the sect to
suspend its activities in the Northeast or face sanctions.
According to the group, the President followed up the notice with a clear directive to the military high command to move the operational command headquarters to Maiduguri, capital of Borno State and the epicenter of the anti-terror war followed by a series of diplomatic shuttles, the signing of regional and bilateral anti-insurgency agreements and the immediate payment of $20 million of Nigeria’s share of the logistics to the Multi-National Joint Task Force, MNJTF.
“It is discernible from the practical actions of our pragmatic President that finally the nation was about to witness the beginning of the end of this war which had regrettably festered for six years owing to reasons ranging from the sublime to the absurd. This government has a-no-holds-barred resolve to reverse this ugly trend of terror in the land. Buhari is sincere and straight-forward. The troops can see it, Nigerians and indeed the entire world cannot deny it. His zeal and sincerity is unmistakable”, Tukur Musa Tilde maintained.
He disclosed that the President’s excellent command experience in the 1980s as General Officer Commanding, 3 Mechanised Division of the Nigerian Army in Jos (overseeing the Northeast zone) came very handy, resulting in his insistence on building an international and regional coalition against the insurgents. He visited the neighbouring countries such asChad ,
Cameroun , Niger and Benin
as well as the influential G-7 summit in Germany
