No foreign military base will be allowed in Nigeria – CDS

The Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, Gen. Christopher Musa, has refuted reports alleging that permission had been granted to France to establish an expeditionary military base in Nigeria.

Musa condemned the insinuation that the recent visit of President Bola Tinubu to France, where a lot of bilateral agreements were signed, included allowing foreign military bases in Nigeria.

The Defense Chief gave the clarification on Friday during the unveiling of the Armed Forces of Nigeria 2025 Tattoo Logo at the Defence Headquarters Abuja.

He said no foreign military base will be allowed in Nigeria.

“Mr President has said it should be very clear. Whatever he was signing is a bilateral agreement on trade, on culture, on tradition, on cooperation, on economy.

[b]“Nothing like that. Mr President knows the implication. He knows that he must protect Nigeria and he will never allow any foreign body.

“We will continue to partner together bilaterally because we do training together and we will consistently send our officers which is a normal thing but having foreign military base in Nigeria is not part of Mr President’s plan.
[/b]
“So I want to trust this as an opportunity to make that clarification,” he said.

They should not even think about it, we go just invade Paris with our AK47 soldiers and wipe out the entire Europe.

Are you the National Assembly or "We The People"! Responsible military men and top military brass don't make such statements especially when it is not coming from their Commander-In-Chief! The CDS appears to be unwilling to admit or is ignorant of the fact that the Nigerian military has been shown to lack sufficient capacity to carry out its Constitutional mandate especially due to corruption and the limited funds available to build capacity. In such circumstances one of the things a nation does is to have defence pacts with other nations who have proven military capacity. Such pacts may or may not include the siting of a military base in either country to the pact. It puts all the capacity available to the bigger entity at the disposal of the lesser party.

By the time they lure them with billions, you will see them inviting them to come to Nigeria and have a base.

It would, the way Tinubu have been romancing with France, and other civilization lately.

It may even be already, and secretly.

People just open their mouths waaa without being informed, are you people that stupid? Not even USA can do that, I honestly hate France for the atrocities they have caused a lot of other African Countries but if they can give us something we need, why not associate with them
