A civil society organisation, Advocates for Democracy and Development, ADD, has observed that those calling for military intervention in government are those benefiting from the security breaches around the country.
The Civil Society Organization, CSO stated this in a press release issued on Monday, claiming certain opposition had preferred coup in the country in order to enthrone anarchy, despite the fact that the nation’s Armed Forces under the Chief of Defense Staff, CDS, Gen. Chris Gwabin Musa was winning the war against bandits, terrorists and other criminals elements in the country.
The group said that those who were advocating for coup d’e tat were only wicked and retrogressive.
But, the group commended the CDS for sending out a timely warning signal to the war mongers.
The CSO also gave kudos to the defence chief for displaying courage by describing advocates of military
intervention as “enemies of Nigeria.”
Gen. Musa had reacted to the call saying that, “Whoever is making that call (coup) does not love Nigeria.
We want to make it very clear that the Armed Forces of Nigeria are here to protect democracy.”
The release signed by Gbenga Osho, the group’s convener noted that the military was deploying efforts
aimed at keeping the citizens safe and secured while some unscrupulous elements were bent on
throwing the country into needless confusion.
Osho said that, “We are glad that time and time again, the present leadership of the Armed Forces of
Nigeria under Gen Chris Gwabin Musa has said the military is loyal to the constitution and the President
and Commander in Chief, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
“We in ADD urge Nigerians to continue to support the military under Gen. Chris Musa who have shown
determination to quickly restore peace and stability and remain loyal to the constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria,” the CSO boss added.
