Senate Praises Nigerian Military

During Senate’s plenary meeting yesterday, the Senate president, David Mark and other senators commended the Nigerian Armed Forces for their efforts in combating the Boko Haram insurgents.

“We must commend the Armed Forces for proving that they are worthy of the regional forces that they have earned. We also thank those countries like Niger and Cameroon for their courage. We also like to thank ECOWAS as well but most importantly, we must commend our boys and girls on the field,” Senate president David Mark said.

A lawmaker representing Borno South senatorial district, Ali Ndume, also expressed his joy with the Armed Forces and the Nigerian government.

“I travelled from Abuja to Maiduguri by road and there is a huge difference from what it was six months ago. We have been crying out for the government to do something and I am proud of the Armed Forces.”

A lawmaker also representing Imo East senatorial district, Chris Anyawu, also commended the armed forces.

“It took time for Nigerians to be able to persuade our neighbours to help us fight but now, things have changed.

“Political parties are now able to speak out which is how it should be and that has boosted the morale of the land,” she said. We also praise them.
