President
of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Saturday, commended the
Nigerian armed forces and President Muhammadu Buhari
for the success of Operation Lafiya Dole in the notorious Sambisa
Forest.
Saraki, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, expressed delight at the news
of the defeat of Boko Haram in Sambisa, stating that it was a great way to wrap up an eventful year.
The Senate President said: “The
news of the Nigerian Army defeating
Boko Haram in their most dominant stronghold is truly gratifying. This
is a gift to all Nigerians as we enter this festive season and round up
this year.
“I
want to congratulate President Buhari for his leadership, and his
dedication to crushing the insurgency in the country. I
want to also commend the Nigerian people for believing in our men and
women in uniform, and supporting them and their families through prayers
and goodwill messages.
“Of
course, more work needs to be done to stamp out the remnants of Boko
Haram that may be hiding amongst us, however, the downfall
of the notorious “Camp Zero” in Sambisa is something that we must all
celebrate at this time.
“As we celebrate this win by our men and women in uniform, we must not forget those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice in
service of our dear nation. We must all come together to celebrate their memories as we mark this win.”
