ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. APC MUST STOP THEIR NATION DESTROYING PROPAGANDA!!!! Certain events only materialised recently and that's why Nigeria has made progress on Boko Haram. The defence of Nigeria just can not be about elections! The President of Nigeria deserves some fairness here!

Who are Boko Haram?

The African Union (AU) has backed plans for a West African task force of 7,500 troops to fight Boko Haram militants.

AU commission chair Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said the threat posed by the Islamist group required a "collective, effective and decisive response".

Boko Haram has seized control of a swathe of north-east Nigeria and killed thousands in a six-year insurgency.

Four of Nigeria's neighbours - Benin, Cameroon, Chad and Niger - have agreed to contribute troops to the task force.

APC should stop playing politics with our National Security! They are very irresponsible

The Democrats in US did not play politics with 9-11 terror attack on US, neither did they play politics with President's Bush's Iraq war. They supported the Government as responsible opposition should!

The conservatives in UK did not play politics with 7-7 bombings. They also supported the Government.

APC is the most irresponsible opposition in the world. They keep trying to make political gain out of Nigeria's challenge against terror.

Does the APC not know that Nigeria has struggled to procure weapons partly due to APC mis-information to the world? When APC was busy accusing the Nigerian Army of high handedness/abuses and countries like US stopped allied companies and countries from selling Ammunitions to Nigeria on human right grounds. What does APC expect when they have been part of the clog in wheel?

Do they not know what until now We have not had the regional coalition that is now bearing fruit? Some of the parliaments of our neighbours only recently voted for their Army to go to war with Boko Haram.

Our Nation is at war with violent terrorism. The number 1 opposition claiming to be ready for Government should show some responsibility at our hour of need as a Nation. Their behaviour has been shameless and disgraceful!

Politicians must realize that there must be a country first before they can achieve their ambition. If they succeeded in destroying their country, their ambition will also be destroyed

ask Buhari what his policy is on tackling Boko Haram. He lists the activities that the President is already pursuing. Buhari has no new ideas on how to tackle Boko Haram. Buhari and APC should be constructive on the issue of Boko Haram. That is the least we expect of them as a responsible party.

Since they have no new ideas on tackling boko haram then they should boldly support the policies of Government in the fight against terror!

Honestly a vote for Buhari is a Step backward
They are not bringing new ideas to d table instead they specialized in criticizing and sabotaging every move by Gej
