No One Will Be Allowed To Set Nigeria On Fire – Army

The Chief Of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai has come out to warn that the army will not tolerate the destabilization of peace and stability in Nigeria.

He recently revealed this during a meeting with Principal Staff Officers, Commanding Officers, and field commanders in Abuja.

According to him, the most appropriate system of governance is democracy and the citizens and leaders must ensure that the country’s democracy remains stable and steady.

He added that any sort of force, elements, or destabilizing agents in or outside our country will not be allowed to set Nigeria on fire.

His words, “We will not allow any force, elements or destabilising agents in or outside our country to set our beloved country on fire.

“We remain resolute in doing everything possible to ensure that subversive elements, detractors and other enemies of this great nation do not achieve their aims and objectives of destabilisation.”

“Now the detractors alongside their local and international collaborators have mischievously and deliberately misrepresented troops’ efforts to ensure compliance with the curfew imposed by legitimate civil authorities in Lagos and other states.”

These agitators are falsely accusing the army of being responsible for the activities of the miscreants in spite of glaring evidence to the contrary.

“They have continually threatened to report the army to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and also threatened various forms of sanctions against personnel and their families.

“Thankfully, however, a large percentage of Nigerians and the international community have started seeing through the smokescreen of falsehood, and deliberate misrepresentation of facts being orchestrated by enemies of Nigeria and have retracted their earlier false publications.”
