The Directorate of Army Public Relations has debunked a
report making the rounds, with the caption, “Defence Headquarters warns
soldiers against overthrowing Buhari’s regime.”
DHQ in a statement signed by Brig Gen Onyema Nwachukwu said
the viral publication that the “Defence Headquarters has denounced a call for
the military to take over the reins of power” was riddled with outrageous lies
and fabrications.
Nwachukwu mentioned that the Army Spokesman in no time made
such a statement and does not speak for the Defence Headquarters as claimed by
the report.
Part of the statement read: “However, for the sake of clarity and to keep the records straight, we wish to state that at no time did the Director, Army Public Relations, Brig Gen Onyema Nwachukwu issue any statement on the subject matter.
“It’s therefore a figment of their imagination, which did
not in anyway emanate from Brig Gen Nwachukwu. “
He added that officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army
doesn’t need to be “warned against overthrowing Buhari’s government as their
loyalty to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and to the
Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces has never been in doubt.”
He added that the Nigerian Army which is a reputable
national and patriotic institution will continue to be steadfast in defending
Nigeria’s constitution and the much cherished democracy by providing aid to the
civil authority, whenever it is called upon to do so.
