government under Jonathan administration could not do in the 6 years they were
in power. The party stated this in a statement signed and released by its
National publicity secretary Lai Mohammed.

"Within three weeks of
President Buhari’s inauguration, he had done what the PDP government could not
do in six years: Invigorate the fight against Boko Haram by rallying a regional
and global front against the terror group. Today, the US has pledged to give $5
million for the fight against Boko Haram, in addition to other material
support. This is apart from the support that has been pledged by the G-7 for
Nigeria’s efforts to quell the insurgency.
Thanks to President Buhari’s
shuttle diplomacy, the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) that the PDP
government could not bring together for all of six years is ready to deploy
next month, while the President has ordered the release of $21 million to
facilitate the establishment of the headquarters of the force in N’Djamena,
Chad. Since assuming office about three weeks ago, President Buhari has visited
Chad, Niger, Germany and South Africa, winning support and friends for Nigeria
all over again and returning the country to the comity of respected nations.
Those who were put off by the
PDP government’s resort to politicizing the fight against Boko Haram – even as
the insurgents grew stronger – are now joining President Buhari to battle the
terrorists. In no distant future, the results of his tireless efforts will
begin to show.
On the domestic front,
President Buhari has been handling pressing issues far away from the klieg
light, and his efforts to assembly a first class team to implement his change
mantra, which he is personally driving, are continuing apace.
We in the APC, and we are sure
most unbiased Nigerians, are very proud of President Buhari and the vigour he
has shown in governance, the kind of vigour we did not see in the immediate
past administration that was presided over by a far younger man”
