The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) on Tuesday dissociated the Armed
Forces of Nigeria (AFN) from the circulation of document, calling
for the overthrow of the democratically elected government led by
President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement issued by Navy Capt. Muhammed Wabi, Deputy
Director of Defence Information, the DHQ accused a group, “Nigerian
Continuity and Progress (NCP)’’ as being behind the document.
Wabi alleged that the document called for the setting up of an
“interim government’’ in place of the elected government.
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) wishes to dissociate itself
from the rascality and intentions as espoused in a document being
circulated by a faceless group named Nigerian Continuity and
Progress (NCP) calling for support of a revolution to oust the
current democratically elected government and in its place
establish an illegitimate interim government.
“The AFN outrightly condemns the undemocratic and demonic
actions of the author of the document.
“Accordingly, members of the public are enjoined to
discountenance the content of the documents being circulated by NCP
and equally condemned in totality, the call to derail our hard
earned democracy,’’ the statement said.
It said that the armed forces was “very mindful of its
constitutional responsibilities’’ and would not be misled into any
act that would undermine democracy as enshrined in the 1999
Constitution as amended.
“The AFN remains unflinchingly loyal to the Constitution, as
well as President Muhammadu Buhari and Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The statement said all relevant law enforcement agencies had
been advised to unravel those behind the seditious document for
appropriate actions. (NAN)
