Shehu Sani Talk Say US Help Fit Save Us From Boko Haram

Na big matter wey dey happen for Naija as former Kaduna senator, Shehu Sani, don show support for security collaboration wey Nigeria dey do with United States. E don talk say we no go fit solo dey fight terrorism while people dey suffer for ground right now.

For one interview wey Sani do for Channels Television, e yarn say, ‘We no fit fold our arms while terrorists dey waka upandan dey kidnap our people, we no fit close our doors make help no enter from outside.’ Na him talk say the fight be our own, but help go dey necessary as na teamwork we need.

This gist come as the Defence Headquarters confirm say about 100 American military personnel don land for Naija join equipment wey go help in the fight against those wicked insurgents. Major General Samaila Uba, wey be the Director of Defence Information, don talk say this deployment go boost Nigeria’s technical ability to tackle terrorism and also protect vulnerable communities. Na wetin we dey need normally!

But e no be all Naija people wey gree for this new development o. Some people dey vex say why we go allow foreign troops enter our land, dem dey fear for our sovereignty. Sani don yan say though he understand their concerns, the real wahala for ground be say we dey face real terror threat. He don remind everybody say, ‘Our sovereignty don already collect blow from foreign terrorists.’ So, wetin we go do?

Sani praise military cooperation as normal practice all over the world. E talk say even the big countries like America dey use alliances to solve security issues. ‘No military wey no dey work with others. Even superpowers dey collaborate to achieve their goals,’ he conclude.

Meanwhile, the arrival of the US troops coincide with plenty security discussions wey don dey happen between both countries. This one no come easy as US President Donald Trump don redesignate Nigeria as Country of Particular Concern over religious violence, but our government don reject that allegation.
