The Defence Headquarters has stated unequivocally that the military is happy & better under democracy & that there are no plans for a coup in Nigeria.
The DHQ made the declaration in a statement on August 11, following reports calling on the military to interfere in the nation’s democracy & distract it from performing its constitutional responsibilities.
According to the statement signed by the Director of Defence Information, Brig Gen Tukur Gusau, “The Defence Headquarters frown at a report being circulated online about welfare issues in the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
The report’s call on the military to interfere in our democracy is highly unpatriotic & an attempt to distract the Armed Forces of Nigeria from performing its responsibilities.
We wish to state unequivocally that the military is happy & better under democracy & will not get involved in any act to sabotage the hard-earned democracy in our country.
