The Senator representing Borno South Senatorial District, Ali Ndume, says he would once again support another US military airstrikes against insurgents operating in parts of North-East Nigeria.
Ndume who made the statement on Friday, said the airstrike will assisting in stemming the prolonged activities of Boko Haram insurgents in communities within his constituency, particularly around the Mandara Mountains.
According to the lawmaker, insurgents have maintained a presence in the mountainous areas for over a decade, forcing residents to flee their homes and farmlands.
Ndume said sustained and consistent military offensives are necessary to eliminate the group and enable displaced persons to return home.
He added that residents of Gwoza and surrounding communities would be receptive to such support, emphasising that security concerns have prevented him from visiting his village for years, even under escort.
The federal lawmaker insisted that his position reflects the desperation of communities that have endured prolonged insecurity and are seeking decisive action to end insurgency in the region.
