The Defence Heaquartes has frowned at a report being circulated online about welfare issues in the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
According to Director, Defence Information, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, the report’s which also called on the military to interfere in the country’s democracy was highly unpatriotic, wicked, and an attempt to distract the Armed Forces of Nigeria from performing its constitutional responsibilities.
Gusau said the leadership of the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) “gives priority to welfare of its personnel and detest any attempt by any individual or group to instigate the law-abiding Armed Forces of Nigeria to embark on any unconstitutional change of government in the country.
“We wish to state unequivocally that the military is happy and better under democracy and Will not get involved in any act to sabotage the hard-earned democracy in our 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),” Gusau said.
