The National Chairman of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Dan Nwanyanwu, has expressed strong confidence in the Nigerian military’s capacity to decisively defeat the bandits and terrorists currently destabilizing parts of the country.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, Nwanyanwu claimed that tackling the current insecurity challenges would be a straightforward task for the Armed Forces.
Nwanyanwu said: “Let me tell you, I’ve said it here many times that Nigeria’s military – this is what I call a akamu [pap] case for them. It’s [banditry and terrorism] a simple thing for the Nigerian military to deal with.
“There is no political way to direct the instructions. I’m not there, that’s my intel.”
The ZLP chieftain referenced Nigeria’s military success in peacekeeping missions across Africa as a pointer that it can address insecurity in the West African country.
He said, “The Nigerian Army has had more serious encounters and wars outside Nigeria”.
