Is it not Nigeria?”

He added; “Whose military hardware and assets will be deployed, mobilised and utilised more than any other? Is it not Nigeria?”

He stated further; “Who shares her Northern border with Niger and whose northern civilian population are bound to suffer the most hardship, the greatest degree of collateral damage, the highest number of casualties and accommodate the highest number of displaced people and refugees? Is it not Nigeria?”
