Military tells Gov Zulum to stop discouraging soldiers

The military says the governor's allegations could negatively impact on operations and the confidence of the locals in the military.

The Nigerian Military has called on Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State to be mindful of the allegations he levelled against troops fighting insurgents in the North-east.

The governor had in July accused the military of attacking his convoy in Baga, a town in Borno State.
Zulum attributed the attack to a sabotage from the army, even though many believe it was carried out by Boko Haram insurgents.
He further said he would mobilise hunters in the state to secure the town if the army could not do the job.

However, after the army’s investigation into the incident, Felix Omoigui, the Deputy Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, said the governor’s claims were untrue.
He said, “ The governor of Borno state believed these allegations levelled against troops of the 19 Brigade in Baga given his recent utterances.
“Remarks of highly placed persons are capable of demoralising the troops which would negatively impact on operations and the confidence of the locals in the military.
“Allegations of such nature could be avoided if the military authority was contacted on issues concerning troops activities before going public.
“The realisations that the allegation emanated from security agencies could trigger reactions and animosity among troops and attendant negative consequences.

Omoigui also debunked the allegation that troops in Baga engage in fishing business in the area.
He said the prohibition of troops engaging in fishing and farming activities in Baga is contained in the standing procedure of the military operation in the town.
He said, “ The allegations were conjured by some overzealous security agencies who for personal glory and without recourse for the tenets of inter-agency cooperation decided to propagate falsehood. ”

It would be recalled that a group under the aegis of Coalition of Friends and Supporters of Buhari recently slammed Zulum over alleged attempt to blackmail the troops.
The group said the two instances where Zulum tried to ridicule the Nigerian military turned out that he was wrong on his assumptions.

Losers trying to blame the people’s Governor for getting in their evil faces.

Lance Corporal Martins has already told us who is responsible for the all time low moral of the troops.

This is the problem
When one speaks the truth, it is subverted
What he said was a moral booster to the troops because no one seems to be speaking for them.
You guys know what to do to stop the violence but because of greed and filthy lucre, you have mortgaged peace.

Zulum is the man, so you expect him to remain mute over a threat to his life and people? that will be a foolish idea, let the world know the truth, we can't continue to die in silence while some corrupt individuals feeding fat at the top.

How much more could his remarks demoralise an already mentally, physically and emotionally defeated NA? Leave the man make him spill the bean.
Make spade be spade. Semo no fit be amala. Diff. dey.

I tell u say the moral no dey


It isn't there..
How would u expect a soldier who brings toys to a gun fight to have moral

Governor Zulum Already said he doesn't need a second term Which is the Satanic Clause APC Used to block people saying things as the way Are

He said he will keep saying the truth and that was the agreement he had with borno people.

Imagine that Femi Adeshina and Lai Mohammed has not tagged him as Sounding like Opposition.
Shameless people

he is right, there are fifth columnist within the security forces and the elites are complicity
