Army won’t let Nigeria break up – Ihejirika

In a morale-boosting declaration to Nigerians disillusioned about the future of the country by increasing insecurity, the chief of army staff, Lt. General Azubuike Ihejirika yesterday assured that the Nigerian Army is ready to pay the supreme sacrifice to continue to keep the country as one united entity.
At an interactive session with army ex-servicemen in Jaji, Kaduna State, Ihejirika said: “We should forget about any talk of Nigeria breaking up as the army will not agree to that.”
He reminded Nigerians that the army has been at the fore front of all efforts to keep the country together since independence and assured that it was as determined as ever to maintain the cause.
