Nigeria military makes revelation on why Nigeria has not imploded
According to Daily Post, the military spokesman made these observations on Wednesday, March 16, at a media chat with defence correspondents, in Abuja.
According to him, “Times were even there where people who were armed refused to go to combat because of propaganda or the capability of the enemy which may not be true. Where did it go out from? Of course, the media.”
Enenche said the military was ever ready to defend the sovereignty of Nigeria, adding that it was carrying out its responsibility to that effect.
He said: “And for the military, our own is to protect the territorial integrity of this nation. Without being told, I would tell you that we are the backbone of the corporate existence of this country. I can confidently tell you that.
“So, I will tell you that what has caused others to disintegrate worldwide has happened here and we still remain intact, with the support of the military.
“Above all, the military we have now have total loyalty to the Federal Government of Nigeria.”
“There were times where people that you were even defending turned against the forces defending them because of negative propaganda,” he said.
In a similar vein, the Nigerian Army has again warned Amnesty International against issuing reports attacking the Nigerian military in the country’s war against insurgency and insecurity.
In a statement issued on Monday, February 27 by acting director of defence information Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar and posted to PR Nigeria, the military accused Amnesty International of working against the interest of Nigeria.
The military claimed that Amnesty International is siding with terrorists in its reports and clearly working against Nigeria’s unity.
