“We are therefore very much delighted with the continuation of this great effort by the President. We salute the men and women of our beloved armed forces for their courage, determination and sacrifice which made this achievement possible.

While PDP called on the government and the military to continue the war against insurgency until the entire North east is rid completely of Boko Haram sect, it added, “Beyond Sambisa, all the other forests which criminals use as hideouts and bases must equally be cleared by the military.

“Forests such as Birnin Gwari, Zamfara, Southern Kaduna, Enugu and Benue have become killing fields,” PDP said.
