US now supplying arms to Nigeria says APC

The All Progressive Congress (APC) has disclosed that Nigeria is now been supplied by the United States of America, arms needed to combat the Boko Haram insurgency.
This was revealed in a statement issued in Lagos on Monday August 17 by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
The All Progressive Congress (APC) stated that the rejuvenated military is now taking the battle straight to the insurgents, instead of waiting for them to attack.
APC also hailed the Nigerian military for ramping up the fight against Boko Haram, saying the visible paradigm shift in the military’s approach to the battle against the insurgents is yielding positive results.
It described as refreshing and reassuring the fact that Service Chiefs have been visiting the theatre of the battle in the North-east, not only to pep up the fighting men and women but also to meet with political and community leaders in the area.
“The stepped-up fight against Boko Haram has convinced Nigerians that indeed their military is getting its groove back, and can beat the three-month deadline set by President Muhammadu Buhari for Boko Haram to be defeated.
The renewed battle has also shown that President Buhari was right in directing the relocation of the military’s command and control centre from Abuja to Maiduguri.
Watching the video clip of Nigerian Air Force jets pounding targets in Sambisa Forest, which is the fortress of the insurgents, over the weekend arouses great pride in the military”, APC said.
