All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), yesterday, in Abuja, said APC government would not only initiate policies and programmes that would impact positively on the lives of youths and women, if voted into office, but would also provide the necessary military equipment and personnel to end insurgency in the country.

In two separate statements, through APC and APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, APCPCO, Buhari promised Nigerians a better and safer country if APC was voted into power in the February 14 presidential election.

Buhari, while expressing his condolence to the families of members of the Armed Forces who lost their lives in various military operations to keep Nigeria secure including the current battle against the insurgents in North East, in a statement through APC, said: ‘’May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace. An APC government will provide the necessary military equipment and personnel to prosecute the battle effectively and efficiently as soon as we are voted into power in the forthcoming elections.

“APC as a party also recognises the sufferings of the pensioners whose pension arrears and gratuity have remained a serious problem. This will be corrected by the APC government.

“I urge you all in the Armed Forces to remain apolitical and focus on the ethos of discipline which is the hallmark of your profession. I wish to assure you of my unalloyed commitment to returning the Armed Forces to its place of pride among comity of nations.

“I am aware of the neglect of the military over the years and assure you that everything will be done within available resources to train and equip the military to the level comparable with other developed armies of the world in the shortest possible time.
