Military has no role in governance, says Alake of Egbaland
The Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo has faulted any military intervention in governance, stressing that military has no role to play in governance of any country across the globe.
Penpushing reports that Gbadebo a retired military officer made this clear on Tuesday at a press conference held at his palace located in Ake, Abeokuta, Ogun State Capital ahead of his 80th birthday scheduled to kick start on Friday, September 8, 2023
The royal father emphasized that rather than for the military to engage in irrelevant coups they should focus on their constitutional role of defending their countries from any external intrusion, stressing that governance is meant for politicians
‘The military has constitutional roles to play, it is written in the constitution of every nation and I will appeal to the military to keep to its constitutional role because governance is not the work of the military and we all saw what happened in 1998 in Nigeria before the change of government in 1999’, he stated.
‘So, let everybody play his role for which the constitution given him, the role the constitution assigned to each person is what that person should follow or what the group of people should follow. If politicians are making mistakes, let them make mistakes, they will correct themselves, they will get better and better still and Nigeria will get stronger at the end of the day’, Gbadebo added.
Penpushing further reports that in preparation for the birthday, the Chairman Planning Committee, Chief Oluyinka Kufile has disclosed that because of the celebrator’s love for Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, the late musician sons Femi and Seun are being considered to perform at the ceremony
