The national leadership of The Muslim Congress (TMC) has commended the Federal Government and the armed forces for their tremendous efforts in decimating Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters and bandits.
The Amir of TMC and chairman, Committee on Social Mobility, Economy and Politics, Alhaji Abdul Wasi’i Taiwo Bangbala, while addressing journalists at the quarterly State of the Nation address held in Lagos, said the ongoing decimation exercise must be sustained to enhance the prospects of peace in Nigeria.
“We reliably gathered that in the past two weeks, both kinetic and non-kinetic operations of the Nigerian army were conducted in the various theatres of operations, with significant outcomes recorded,” Bangbala said.
Bangbala, represented by the Secretary-General of the group, Alhaji Taiwo Hassan Adeshina, lauded the Nigerian armed forces for the tremendous efforts and the onerous sacrifices they have been making in the ongoing efforts to annihilate Boko Haram and ISWAP.
According to him, the capacity of these evil groups to terrorise Nigerian citizens through kidnappings and killings has been severely weakened.
“We also commend the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, under whose leadership this great feat has been recorded.
“But the onslaught must not stop until every remnant of Boko Haram and ISWAP is decimated and the Nigerian government is controlling every inch of its territory.
“We urge the military to strengthen and improve on the synergy among its different departments to sustain the heat on the evil groups,” he declared.
The group also called on the local people in the affected areas to continue to work with the military by providing relevant information that will aid the ongoing action against the criminals and terrorist elements.
“The peace and security of this nation is critical to its well-being and prosperity, and must be sustained at all costs. The Federal Government must ensure that the welfare of our security forces is adequately taken care of, as well as the provision of modern and effective arms and ammunition that will give them the edge in battle with the enemies of the nation,” the group charged.
