All Progressives Congress, APC, has thrown its weight behind the comment credited to Governor of Rivers State and the Director General of the Campaign Organisation of General Muhammadu Buhari that the military has a right to good welfare packages while fighting for Nigeria.Rotimi AmaechiThe National Publicity Secretary of APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed who spoke to Journalists yesterday via a telephone said while the party does not support disobedience to military laws, it was yet to see what was wrong in Amaechi’s statement.

He said: “Amaechi did not say Soldiers should Protest. What he said was that they should improve the welfare of the soldiers and soldiers have a right to welfare and proper treatment while on national assignment. “We are fully in support of the view that soldiers welfare must be improved but that does not mean that they will not respect the regulations governing the military institution. “You see when you enlist in the military, you are governed by the Act establishing the military and military laws, so that is a completely different thing. “But for us as Nigerians, we believe that the Federal Government must keep its own side of the bargain so that they don’t send soldiers to the war front without ammunition and equipment.

You do not have to neglect to put in place death insurance package to at least a minimum rate of about N300,000. -

I have said it before, PDP are just looking for something to hold on to. When judged on its content, the comment is not what it is being meant to be.

CaptainAmerica:
this same Buhari they're all forcing down our throats, during his tenure, if you make such a comment on social media, you'd be arrested.

Smh!

Hypocrites.

And you don't know the differences between a military era and a democracy?

Whether you like it or not Buhari is winning in February. Majority of Nigerians have moved forward from your hatred and bigotry.

CaptainAmerica:


Keep deceiving your life

OK.

They, all APC, are in thesame Train on Seditious and Treasonable Trip. Grab Amaechi and make him a scape goat, the Train will derail and all inside will scamper.

Ok na

You don't know how things work. If you do, you won't just type this.

The Presidency and PDP surely know that the comments don't translate to what they want us to believe. Hence they can't do more than caution, warn, shout and cry foul.
