Nigerians in Diaspora, want worldwide support for troops

At a time the world grapples the rampaging coronavirus, the Association of Nigerian Professionals in Europe (ANPE) has hailed the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General T.Y Buratai, for giving Nigerians across the globe hope with its gallantry against Boko Haram terrorists.

Nigerians in diaspora, like other nationals, are currently battling the dreaded pandemic; optimistic, though, that the end is insight.

In a statement signed by the President Dr. Agwu Onyeke and 13 other country heads, ANPE believes the COAS and his troops have given them something to cheer about.

The umbrella group of Nigerian professionals in Europe made this known in a communique issued at the end of a virtual emergency general meeting to assess the state of affairs in their home country with regards to the war against terrorism and other acts of militancy across the country.

After extensive deliberations on the various topical issues, ANPE applauded the Army and his troops for the steady progress in the war against Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists.

Led by Lt. Gen Buratai, the troops of Operation Lafiya Dole recently decimated over 150 insurgents and ANPE reckoned this is a display of sheer dedication to the unity and progress of Nigeria.

While saluting their patriotism and dedication, ANPE urged the troops to maintain the momentum in the remaining phase of the clearance operation.

The Nigerians, however, called on fellow compatriots to rally behind the Army as they make sacrifices for good of the nation.
