The expert further explains that the country will pursue all measures necessary to maintain its security, and if it weakens relations with the US, "then so be it." Nigeria's interests come first.
"Nigeria has no business hankering and waiting upon the US. Nigeria needs to take this as an opportunity, and other countries have done this. This country [can] emerge as a country of its own that can supply from within […] most of those equipments, and there are more friendly countries around the world that can assist," he explains.
