Nigerian elders under the auspices of the Coalition of Patriotic Nigeria Elders , has said there was nothing to celebrate in this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day, following the failure of President Muhamadu Buhari, to address the problems confronting members of the Armed Forces, especially troops in the frontline.
The statement was signed by the group’s National Coordinator, Prof. Habu Usman Galadima, National Secretary, Dr Grace Onanefe and Legal Adviser, Barr. Muhammad Ibrahim Postiskum, respectively. “We observe with regret that the long and unnecessary tenure of the current service chiefs has not only affected career progression, in the Armed Forces of Nigeria today but also resulted in low morale among officers and men of the services besides other forms of setbacks. This is unconstitutional.
“We make bold to say that Nigerians were not interested in the president’s speech today because it does not address their yearnings which is the long-overdue sack of the nation’s Service Chiefs. In the statement, the elders argued:”Secondly, what if this current service chief are the reason why the war has refused to end?”They faulted the president for maintaining an adamant posture in the face of various calls for the sack of the security heads and their subsequent replacement with new hands.“It is an illusion for the president to think that he is wiser than all Nigerians in terms of security. Nobody knows it all,” they said.
According to them,” It goes to show that Nigeria is not peaceful yet. It also shows that God may be angry with this administration on the way it is handling the issue of peace and security in this country.”
Even pigeons turned terrorists and refused to obey. In most states of nigeria pigeons refused to fly, due to the impunity of the rulers.
I thought the day was for the fallen heroes!
