FOREIGN SPONSORS COLLABORATING WITH BOKO HARAM TO SCUTTLE SWEARING IN OF NEW GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA- ARMY SAYS
“Some of these mischievous elements thought that we would not have a safe and successful general elections but were proved wrong, hence they want to derail the scheduled handing over later this month and to scuttle the democratic process in the country’, he said.
Penpushing also reports that, the statement alleged further that the elements are making frantic efforts to induce Islamic State for West African Province (ISWAP), Boko Haram terrorists and bandits with funds and other logistic supports.
Hear him, “their body language and unguarded utterances seem to be in tandem with above and imply tacit support for the criminals. For example, credible source has shown that some individuals are hobnobbing with Boko Haram terrorists, while others are deliberately churning falsehood against the security agencies with a view to set the military against the people and the government.
Penpushing reports that, the army spokesman added that, “they are also demoralising troops and security agencies through false accusations and fake news’, but warned them to desist declaring that consequences of their intended actions would be calamitous to themselves.
“We also noted that foreign interests are also working assiduously to cause disaffection and divide the coalition Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) to give room for the so-called Islamic State for West African Province (ISWAP) and its defeated local franchise, Boko Haram terrorists group, to resurrect,” he said.
The army spokesman, however, expressed confidence in the Federal Government’s efforts at sustaining and reinvigorating the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) to continue its good work, assuring that the Nigerian army would not relent in clearing the visages and remnants of Boko Haram terrorists and their sympathisers.
“The Nigerian army is a stakeholder in our national security and sustenance of democracy in Nigeria. Additionally, we are making this statement because the military, particularly the Nigerian army has always been called upon to intervene in conflict situations in order to resolve crisis in most cases when they get worse, while the public expect miracles’.
“We will like to reiterate our unalloyed loyalty to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and we are determined more than ever before, to continue to uphold the constitution and defend the territorial integrity of this nation from both external and internal aggression’.
“Nigeria is a sovereign country with clearly established judicial system, therefore all aggrieved persons and groups should take advantage of that and resolve their differences amicably,” he said.
