“The Nigerian Army has made and continues to make huge sacrifices to keep us safe.

“Security challenges increased in the last decade and half, the Nigerian Army has risen to the challenge to keep Nigeria safe.

“As the world changes, our security architecture must also change to meet up with the new threats.

“The Nigerian Army remains the backbone of the security architecture that would ensure this security. You must sustain the progress made so far, and evolve strategies to ensure that violent groups do not overwhelm peaceful and law abiding Nigerians.

“As you take direct action against violent groups, you must remember to conduct yourselves in a manner to reflect your professionalism.

“There is no doubt, you represent the pride of the nation; an institution with history; an institution that has never failed Nigeria.

“Your charge now is not only to protect your country, but to do what is right and just at all times. As your Commander-In-Chief, I know you will.”

Are you sure that the Buhari he alone made president after three lulẹ failed attempts was not paying Group Life Assurance for soldiers like he was before ThiefNuibu packaged him as the recycled dictator who is the messiah to fix all our problems?

Why do you believe a serial propagandist liar who is also a clueless rogue like JagaBandit so easily? Why not double check his words first

Tinubu wey no fit pay allowance of mdas

Buhari solved all the insecurity problems longest time ago before coronavirus killed everyone.

Where were you all these years when Buhari declared that Boko Haram was technically defeated in December 2015? Where were you when ThiefNuibu was asking- where are the cows 🐄 to defend Fulani herdsmen and blame Evans/Igbo people for kidnapping and killing Yorubas

Not bad
Meanwhile, doesn't it mean such promises wasn't made before by other presidents including the former Army generals?


Execution is the problem in Nigeria not law or promises, we have seen in the past where pension money was looted

VaginaAcademic:
Tinubu wey no fit pay allowance of mdas

Is this true?

So what is Asiwaju’s balablu town hall noise about this Group Life Assurance, if it is not the usual lies from his druggie mouth

Tinubu is a great disaster and nothing he does can bring Nigeria back to May 2023 because his failures are irreversible!

I am glad
