Senator Ndume Urges US Troops in North-East Nigeria to Combat Terrorism

Senator Ali Ndume (Borno South) urges the Nigerian government to expand military operations in the North-East due to the persistent threat posed by Boko Haram and ISWAP. He advocates for US support, including joint ground troops and intelligence sharing, to enhance counterterrorism efforts.

Ndume's call comes after recent airstrikes in Sokoto State and highlights the need for sustained efforts to combat terrorism in the region. He commends President Bola Tinubu's allocation of a record budget for the defense sector.

The request for US involvement signals a rare willingness for international collaboration in Nigeria's fight against terror.
