By: Okosun Dennis<\/p>\n

The Nigerian Military on Monday dissociated itself from an anti-democratic utterance and position purportedly made by one Robert Clark (SAN), suggesting that current political leadership should hand over power to the military for the purpose of restructuring.<\/p>\n

The Acting Director Defence Information (DDI), Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu in his reaction in a statement said the attention of the military high command has been drawn to a statement purported to have been made by one Robert Clark (SAN).<\/p>\n

Putting it in context, “Let it be stated categorically that the Armed Forces of Nigeria remain fully committed to the present Administration and all associated democratic institutions.<\/p>\n

“We shall continue to remain apolitical, subordinate to the Civil Authority, firmly loyal to the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Mohammadu Buhari and the 1999 Constitution as Amended.<\/p>

“We shall continue to discharge our constitutional responsibilities professionally, especially in protecting the country\u2019s democracy, defence of the territorial integrity of the country as well as protection of lives and properties of citizens.<\/p>\n

The Military High Command wishes to use this opportunity to warn misguided politicians who nurse the inordinate ambition to rule this country outside the ballot box to banish such thoughts as the military under the current leadership remain resolute in the Defence of Nigeria\u2019s Democracy and its growth.<\/p>\n

“We also wish to remind all military personnel that it is treasonable to even contemplate this illegality. The full wrath of the law will be brought to bear on any personnel found to collude with people having such agenda.”<\/p>\n

Brig Gen Nwachukwu further added that “The current security challenges are not insurmountable. The Armed Forces of Nigeria in partnership with other other security Agencies are working assiduously to ameliorate the challenge. Nigeria will know peace again. PLEASE BE WARNED!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
