The Nigerian Army has restated its commitment to protect and uphold democracy in Nigeria, saying it “will continue to defend our constitution and not suspend it for whatever reason.”

Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, who declared this position at a seminar on career planning and management organised by the Army headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, said the Army has no plan to interfere in or truncate democracy in Nigeria.

Addressing participants at the training, Gen. Lagbaja charged officers of the Nigerian Army to remain above board in the discharge of their professional duties.

His words: “Permit me to seize this opportunity to reiterate that the Armed Forces of Nigeria, particularly the Nigerian Army has come to terms with the country’s choice of democracy as the preferred system of governance.

“We are, therefore, agents of democracy and have no desire to truncate it. The Nigerian Army will continue to defend our constitution and not suspend it for whatever reason. It is the duty of our elected leaders to lead while the military does its job as enshrined in our constitution.

“Nigerian Army personnel must therefore remain professional and be above board as they discharge their constitutional duties.”

I have so much respect for this man and the late Attahiru, you hardly hear them make the news but their work is really speaking for them.

No smoke without fire.
When you begin to hear things like this. You know some persons are afraid of getting a taste of what they did to democracy and the constitution of the country.

Following The Update

Permit me to seize this opportunity to reiterate that the Armed Forces of Nigeria, particularly the Nigerian Army has come to terms with the country’s choice of democracy as the preferred system of governance.

Translation: Our bellies are full, and our wallets are fat. Nigerians, enjoy the shege.

Don't worry, even you self won't know when the coup will happen, you too will become a refugee...

Politicians are scared ...

Why do these soldiers always talk about coup?

Nigerians are talking about hunger and they are busy talking about coup.

It seems they received intel that some soldiers are trying to chase Tinubu out of Aso Rock!

Say No to coup and their promoters.

If you lose elections, wait till the next one. Ruling Nigeria is not by force.

It's very obvious that they are eternally afraid

Coup loading

Time will tell

Nigeria needs a revolution not military intervention. After all this faulty foundation that's bedeviling the nation is layed by the military.

That coup is real.
The over defending proves it

Rubbish

Greedy man na ur turn to chop now

continue

Tinubu don giveam better share


They are denying what is about to happen.



Even Peter told Jesus that 'for better and for worse', him go defend Jesus.



The current situation in Nigeria can be rescued by coup.

The headless fascist mob wouldn't like this. They are free to cry though.

Amazing stuff.

Who tell this one say COAS they know about the coup , COAS and the rest is well settled they don’t do coup

Na Barack boys Dey do coup , they are the ones feeling the pain with dere family

How will someone put his life on the line for some people in Abuja to be enjoying and yet there salaries and benefits are not paid on time,there families are shouting Ebi Pawa and the little salaries they get is now worthless due to bad economic policies and they have the guns in dere hands

Don’t talk to EMilokan to do something fast

It will surprise us all
Nigeria is not immune to coup

A coup now is not in the best interest of igbos , our super governors will be forced to leave their seats , their visions and super projects

We're observing from high places

SoNature:
Why do these soldiers always talk about coup?

It's in response to the talks by a set of people in the country.


They supported coups in some West African countries and they've been hoping for same in Nigeria.

The people that plotted the first coup de tat in Nigeria are now on the bench observing and giving total support to Mr President and at the same time cashing out in the bad economy.

If dem born ur papa well plot any coup against Jagaban.

Jagaban Amaka!


Ebi n pawa ooo!

There's a reason the great Fela referred to the military as Zombies. They are dumb, brainless and boneheaded. They are a large part of why Nigeria is where it is right now and they've got no place in governance.

Keep defending while the innocent zombies dies for 50k salary

While politicians continue to bastardize d constitution.

We are looking forward to our young vibrant Captains and majors not all these pot belly peppersoup generals

Long live to Nigeria military chief
