expressed support for what it described as
President Muhammadu Buhari's shuttle
diplomacy aimed at forging a stronger
regional front against the Boko Haram
insurgency.
The party said instead of criticizing him, the
President should be praised for his efforts.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday
by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, the party said that any solution
to the crisis brought about by Boko Haram
must be regional in nature as it has now
assumed a regional dimension, affecting
many countries in West Africa.
"Besides, it said since terrorism has assumed
a global dimension, no nation, not even the
superpower United States, can fight the
growing menace alone. This is why even in
our days in opposition, we advocated a
regional solution to the crisis," APC said.
The party said President Buhari's trip to Niger
and Chad, two of the countries worst hit by
the Boko Haram insurgency, showed that he
understands the regional dimension that the
insurgency has assumed, and that for any
effort by Nigeria to yield positive results, it
must seek the cooperation of its
neighbouring countries.
