Former senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has praised the delivery of critical military supplies to Nigeria by the United States, calling the move timely and commendable.
Sani responded on Tuesday to reports of the delivery, stating that this support would bolster Nigeria’s efforts to combat insecurity, particularly in the North-West region. “I read the reports that the US has delivered critical military supplies to Nigeria. That is a welcome development and commendable,” he said in a post via his X handle.
The former lawmaker urged other nations that profess goodwill towards Nigeria to follow the example set by the United States by offering tangible support in the fight against terrorism and banditry. “Other countries that claim to like or love us should emulate this gesture. Anything that can be done to eliminate Bello Turji, Adamu Aleru, Baleri, and other terrorist criminals in the hinterland of Zamfara is welcomed,” Sani added.
PUNCH Online previously reported that the United States forces delivered the military supplies to Nigeria in support of the country’s ongoing security operations against terrorism and banditry.
The United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) confirmed the development in a statement posted on its verified X (formerly Twitter) handle, stating that the supplies were handed over to Nigerian authorities in Abuja. According to AFRICOM, the delivery underscores the United States’ ongoing commitment to strengthening its security partnership with Nigeria. “This delivery supports Nigeria’s ongoing operations and emphasizes our shared security partnership,” the command added.
This latest support comes amid sustained efforts by Nigeria and its international partners to enhance capacity in addressing security challenges across the country.
