Posting on X, Sani wrote: “Nigeria is fighting terrorism and banditry on different fronts. Weapons and ammunition are needed to combat them.

“If it buys cheaper Aircraft or weapons from Russia or China, the US will be angry.

“If it buys the expensive ones from the US, it will come with stringent conditions, limitations and restrictions that ties the hands of our forces fighting terrorism, and everything looks like a hiring service.Time to develop our weapons to fight our battles.”
