The All Progressives Congress (APC) has charged the newly appointed Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Major General Farouk Yahaya, on the need to solve the lingering security challenges in the country.

APC Secretary Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Senator John James Akpanduoehehe, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, urged the new Army Chief to consolidate on the successes recorded by the military in tackling all security threats by ensuring inter-agency collaboration.

He stressed the need to be more vigilant, ensure increased cooperation and support through sharing information that can pave way for faster mopping up the remnants of the insurgents and ending banditry and kidnapping in parts of the country.

The party said: “This could be achieved and deepened sustainably through increased collaboration among the security services and communities.

“More vigilance and increased cooperation and support through sharing information can pave way for faster mopping up the remnants of the insurgents and ending banditry and kidnapping in parts of the country.”

The party told him to justify President’s confidence in him by doing everything to stem the tide of insecurity.

It maintained that “the success of the military is our collective success as a party and nation.

“The APC as an institution congratulates the new Chief of Army Staff and wish him success in his new, important and strategic national assignment.”

Yahaya was named the new COAS by President Buhari on Thursday following the death of late Lt Gen Ibrahim Attahiru in a plane crash in Kaduna.
