Insecurity: APC group insists Buhari working on better Nigeria

The All Progressives Congress Legacy Awareness and Campaign Group has insisted President Muhammadu Buhari is working on a better Nigeria.
The group said this in a statement by Ismail Ahmed, one of its leaders, on Wednesday in Abuja.
Mr Ahmed pointed out that Mr Buhari’s regime was rebuilding the country`s national security capabilities to address current security challenges in parts of the country.
“Even as the country continues to struggle with several security challenges, the APC-led administration of President Buhari has been planting seeds for a more efficiently policed and secure country,’’ he said.
He added that the government was doing this through unprecedented investments in military hardware. Mr Ahmed added that new aircraft, ships, battle tanks, and others were ordered and delivered by the administration.
He stated that the presidential assent to the new Police Act, was also worthy of note, especially as it would guarantee community policing.
He explained that the establishment of the Police Trust Fund would finance training, logistics, and welfare, stressing that the government’s efforts at rebuilding the police would begin to yield fruit in months and years ahead.
On international relations, Mr Ahmed claimed that Mr Buhari’s regime had restored Nigeria’s relations with the U.S., United Kingdom, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and others.
According to him, this was achieved with positive outcomes in the sale by the U.S. of 12 fighter aircraft, the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative with Morocco, and the revitalisation of the Multinational Joint Task Force and the Chad Basin Commission.
Mr Ahmed noted that since Mr Buhari assumed office six years ago, he had pursued reforms to lay a solid and sustainable foundation for the greatness of Nigeria.
He said the administration was developing Nigeria’s infrastructure in all sectors of the economy.
“Several landmark infrastructure initiatives are being implemented by the Buhari administration, from the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) to the Infrastructure Company (InfraCo).
“Criticisms and opposition are integral requirements of democracy. But if opposition parties and its leadership want to join in criticising and opposing the APC, they must do so by presenting Nigerians what they did comparatively during their stewardship,’’ Mr Ahmed said.
