The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has stated that the military is content and that no coup is planned in Nigeria.
Tukur Gusau, the DHQ Director of Defence Information, expressed concern on Friday about claims that the Nigerian military troops were suffering from welfare concerns.
Gusau went on to say that the report in circulation calls for the military to intervene in the country’s democracy.
“We wish to state unequivocally that the military is happier and better under democracy and will not participate in any act to sabotage our country’s hard-won democracy.”
“The AFN, under the leadership of Chief of Defence Staff, General CG Musa, is determined to ensure complete subordination of the Armed Forces to constitutional authority under His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and will not be distracted from its roles that are well defined in the 1999 constitution (as amended),” according to the statement.
