The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has declared the military's steadfast commitment to democracy, affirming that they operate more effectively and are content under democratic rule. His statement came during an operational visit and the inauguration of facilities at the Headquarters 6 Division of the Nigeria Army in Port Harcourt. Musa emphasized that Nigeria's democratic achievements were hard-won and cautioned against calls for military intervention, labeling them as unpatriotic.
According to Musa, those advocating for a coup d'état are not acting in the country's best interests and are, in fact, adversaries. He stressed the importance of supporting democracy, highlighting the progress and developments it has brought to Nigeria. While acknowledging the challenges the nation is currently facing, Musa expressed confidence that the government has implemented actionable measures to address them and urged all citizens to unite behind the government instead of promoting destabilizing actions.
The military chief reassured Nigerians that despite the trying period, the country is going through, the situation will improve. He emphasized the need for unity and collective effort to overcome challenges, urging citizens to work together to defeat those who seek to undermine the government and the nation. Musa reiterated the armed forces' loyalty to the government and their commitment to preserving peace and order in Nigeria, emphasizing that the military will continue to support democracy and protect the country's democratic institutions.
