A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State, Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, has described the liberation of Sambisa forest as a landmark achievement for the Buhari administration and one that will propel economic recovery in the short and long run.

Araraume in a statement described the flushing out of Boko Haram from their last stronghold as a landmark achievement for the administration of President Buhari.

Araraume, who is a Commissioner at the National Communication Commission, said President Muhammadu Buhari has accomplished a major electoral promise to defeat Boko Haram and enforce national security.

He said: “The takeover of Sambisa forest is a symbol of a new dawn in the security sector, which will now prepare ground for economic recovery. Enhanced security will create enabling ground for flourishing of economic activities.

“Booming economic activities will result in new jobs and controlled inflation. Pain of recession will be gradually eased off and Nigerians will bountifully reap dividends of democracy.

“I call on Nigerians to support the Federal Government as it now focuses on economic recovery after it has crippled and wiped out that devastating insurgency. A Buhari who delivered on security promise will also deliver on economic recovery.”

Araraume stated that both local and foreign investments would be attracted by a more secured investment environment, noting that the 2017 budget of recovery now has peaceful environment for implementation.

“We must commend the officers, men and women of the armed forces for their gallantry. The Commander-in-Chief President Buhari deserves accolades in this historical occasion,” the former governorship candidate stated.
