The Defence Headquarters has expressed dissatisfaction about the report being circulated online, wanting the military to interfere in the country’s democracy.
According to the Director Defence Information, Brigadier General Turkur Gusau, in a press release, the report is highly unpatriotic, wicked, and an attempt to distract the Armed Forces of Nigeria from performing it’s constitutional responsibilities.
Gusau stated that the AFN detest any attempt by individuals or groups to instigate the law abiding Armed Forces into embark on any unconstitutional change of government in the country.
He noted that the leadership of the Force gives priority to welfare of its personnel, adding that the military is happy and better under democracy and will not get involved in any act to sabotage the hard-earned democracy in the country.
“The AFN under the leadership of the Chief of Defence Staff, General CG Musa is determined to ensure complete subordination of the Armed Forces to constitutional authority under His
Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and will not be distracted from its roles that are well defined in the 1999 constitution (as amended)”. He said
