The All Progressives Congress says the Nigerian military would be able to meet the deadline given by President Buhari, owing to its recent successes in the battle against Boko Haram.
The party stated that the stellar performance of the army is proof that the menace of Boko Haram is gradually on the decline.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, released a statement on Sunday, saying that the military has now gained the upper hand against Boko Haram.
The party cited the voluntary surrender of some of the insurgents as further indication that the Nigerian army is winning the war.
”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 striking at times and places of their own choosing, is also an indication of what a nation can achieve under a purposeful, committed, disciplined and sincere leadership.”
