The Nigerian Army has reacted to Governor Nyesom Wike’s allegations against the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 6 Division and Land Component Commander Operation DELTA SAFE, Major General Jamil Sarham.

Wike had accused Sarham of promoting illegal bickering in the Niger Delta region to enable him finance his ambition to be appointed the Chief of Army Staff.

Reacting, Colonel Aminu Iliyasu, Deputy Director Army Public Relations, in a statement on Monday, said the claims were false and a deliberate effort to tarnish the towering image of the Chief of Army Staff and the GOC 6 Division.

The statement noted that the campaign of calumny against General Sarham and the Nigerian Army leadership by Governor Wike did not just start.

“Recall that on 22nd February 2019, Governor Wike brazenly alleged that there was an attempt to exterminate his life by assassins organised by the GOC 6 Division.

“As weighty as the allegation was, we are yet to know any action taken by Mr Wike that guarantees his safety. Mr Wike has since failed to use civilised legitimate options to prove his allegations against Maj Gen Sarham.

“On the mischievous accusation against General Sarham leaking proceeds of State Security Council Meetings to criminals in Rivers State, Mr Wike knows well that Maj Gen Sarham is not a member of the Rivers State Security Council, neither has he ever approached the gates of Rivers State Government House since his assumption of office as the GOC 6 Division.

“Mr Wike only came face to face with General Sarham on the 15th of January 2019 during the 2019 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Parade at Isaac Boro Park. However, the Nigerian Army challenge Wike to provide the public with any evidence of such meetings with Maj Gen Sarham in attendance.

“Accordingly, Wike’s allegation against Major General Sarham’s selfish involvement in illegal oil bunkering is another reckless, spurious and mischievous accusation. Hence, Headquarters 6 Division wish to request the Governor to take the most civilised way of putting up a petition to the relevant authorities to make a point.

"Mr Wike’s resentment against the GOC is based on the latter’s choice of professionalism and integrity over the billions of naira offered to him by the Governor to compromise the 2019 General Elections. His refusal to be bought over and the rejection of such hefty offer is the genesis of Wike’s hatred and vociferous criticisms against Maj Gen Sarham.

“Consequently, 6 Division Nigerian Army wish to reiterate its commitment to the protection of lives and properties as well as the protection of critical national infrastructure in its Area of Responsibility for the benefit of the nation. The Division wishes to also state that no amount of blackmail and Area boy gerrymandering will affect its resolve and commitment to discharge its roles professionally and in line with the vision of the Chief of Army Staff,” he said.

PLEASE LET PRAY FOR NIGERIA

Kk

A lot of illegal stuff that generate hot money go on in the Niger Delta. It involves 'business' partners that cut across big politicians, community elders and leaders, youth leaders and of course military personnel. I bet Gov. Wike is even innocent here.

.

What do you expect the Nigerian Army to say?

Nigerian Army always denying every allegation against them even when they are caught red handed.

Operation delta safe...isorite

The Nigeria army lacks credibility, unfortunately. The allegations by Governor Wike have been proven to be true in time past. There is collusion between security forces and oil bunkers.

Does this wike think all Nigerians are dummies, he is acting like he is innocent in all this, all hail saint wike, he has forgotten we all heard the leaked tape where he was trying to buy the military, all the killings happening in rivers is under his watch and yet he will be wailing like a lil mofo. All this politicians act this way because a good number of Nigerians are just out right stupid and dumb.

Is no news to us from Niger delta.....

These foolish soldiers again... whenever a former soldier is elected as president, soldiers become kings all over the nation...u say wike wanted to bride u...how?? Did wike have any rival during the elections??

Of course they'll deny. Do u expect them to say it's true? If so u must be on a long thing.

Your prayer point each time you go on your knees for prayers is that common sense be granted you...

Life is worthless without it...since you're lacking in it......well

Wike is right, no need to deny anything. Crude oil refining camps are back and guys are making bastard money day and night.

If you have N3-5m to spare, I can show you where to load crude or you can choose a camp to buy crude and refine your oil to diesel.
