The APC UK Pays Tribute to 'brave' Nigerian service men and women
The All Progressives Congress in the
United Kingdom has paid tribute to
'brave' Nigerian service men and
women in its Christmas message.
The party noted the recent recapturing
of Sambisa forest as one of the success
of the Buhari-led administration.
Boko Haram, an Islamic militants group
which operates in the north-east, has
killed more than 15,000 people and has
displaced two million others.
In April 2014, the sect led by Abubakar
Shekau kidnapped more than 200
school girls from Chibok in Borno State.
Since then, 21 of the girls have been
released to their families after a deal
was brokered by the Red Cross and
Swiss government.
The Nigerian troop which has engaged
in a major offensive (Operation Lafiya
Dole) against the militant group, were
able to successfully clear them out of
their last camp in Sambisa forest, on
December 23.
"This government is determined to fulfill
the CHANGE promise it made to
Nigerians. This is evident by the
successes recorded by our brave
soldiers especially the capture of camp-
zero in Sambisa forest and rescue of
twenty-one Chibok girls," the statement
from APC UK reads.
President Buhari, the Commander in
Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces sent
a congratulatory message to "all our
troops who contributed to this most
commendable and momentous effort."
The APC UK also thanked Nigerians,
telling them "all over the world, we,
Nigerians are known for our hard work
and our ability to succeed in any given
situation.
"2016, might have been tough but we
all know that tough times don't last, but
tough people do."
The message highlighted achievements
of the APC-led government, such as the
introduction of "the national home-
grown school feeding programme,"
which is slated as one of the social
intervention programmes promised to
Nigerians by our great party.
It gave high hopes about the economy
and commended President Buhari, for
his "submission of the 2017 budget of
Recovery and Growth."
