There Is No Coup Request Before the Military, Says Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters 

 

Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters (DHQ), over the weekend, said it neither received any request for military intervention nor solicited for one in Nigeria, adding that the Armed Forces of Nigeria remained loyal to the Constitution and President Bola Tinubu.

The military high command, which had in an earlier statement on Saturday, declared that its establishment flourished under a democratic dispensation, however, said it was prepared at all times and willing and ready to defend the Constitution.

A statement by the Director Defence Information (DDI), Brig-Gen Tukur Gusau, said contrary to reports on social media, the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) never received nor made such declaration at any time to anyone or any group.

“The Defence Headquarters is concerned about a false and disturbing social media report twisted to state that the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) received request to effect change of leadership in the country.

“We want to use this opportunity to reiterate that the AFN never received nor made such declaration at any time to anyone or any group. We believe this statement came from those who do not wish the nation well. It is surely the wicked imagination of a few, who are not happy with the progress and wellbeing of our dear country.

“The AFN is very comfortable with democracy and remain loyal to the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. The military is always willing and ready to defend the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We urge those peddling such falsehood to desist from such or face the law. The military and indeed other security agencies are on the look out for these agents of doom. We must all join hands to strengthen our democracy,” it said.

The military high command had declared, in an earlier statement, that the military establishment flourished under a democratic dispensation.

A statement signed by Director, Defence Information (DDI), Brig Gen Tukur Gusau, said the military establishment would not engage in any act aimed at sabotaging the nation’s hard-earned democracy.
