He recently had his say while addressing troops as part of his familiarisation with the celebration of Christmas, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, he is very grateful to the troops for putting the interests of the country ahead of everything while discharging their responsibilities, and he hopes they will stay relentless.
He added that as long as he remains the Chief of Defence Staff of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, the nation will be free from all kinds of criminality.
His words, “I want to commend you for remaining steadfast in the challenges facing us, some of us here are injured, some have lost their lives, families have been dismembered, with so many challenges we are facing and we continue to work hard.
I want to encourage us, not to get tired but we must free our country from all acts of criminality, banditry and insurgency and we can do it.
I want to assure you that as long as I remain the Chief of Defence Staff of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, I will give you all the support to ensure that you are able to achieve and perform your duty.
The Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces has promised us in clear terms that he is ready to support us so that we can bring peace to our dear country.
Most of us grow up in an atmosphere that was very good but it is unfortunate the way things are now but we are gracious and happy that with our efforts and with God being with us, we are seeing some evidence of peace and we will continue to do more.
I want to encourage every one of us not to relent or get tired, Nigeria must be free and we must do it, we have the capacity and the capability and the ability to do it.
The Chief of Army Staff was also here yesterday and this shows you the love we have for you and to assure you that you are not left on your own, any challenges you are facing, we will face them together.
I will make sure we that we deliver better-armed forces of Nigeria, so I convey to you the greetings of all members of the Nigeria armed forces.”
