Those calling for Nigeria’s disintegration should forget it – Buratai

Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai has said those agitating for the division of Nigeria should desist from such requests.

Buratai said this in a remark after he received the “Millennium Hero’’ award conferred on him by a coalition of over 80 Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) at the Army Headquarters, Abuja on Monday.

Buratai said those with such intentions of destabilising Nigeria will not suceed.

He said the Nigerian Army and other security agencies will protect the unity of Nigeria.

“Those individuals and groups that are bent on destabilising our country I think they have to wait till may be the next three or four millennium for them to do that.

“That is if may be the next generation of officers and men will allow them at all.

“Having been given the Millennium Hero award, I want to call on all the agitators for separation and other acts of destabilisation, they better forget it, not in this era, not in this millennium,’’ Buratai said.

He added that the war against terrorism was almost over, while stating that the army will continue to defend the nation.

“I want to say that we would continue to do our best to maintain security atmosphere that is needed as provided for in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We have been tasked to defend our country.

“We have taken a number of measures to ensure that the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists that are on the run are finally cleared, many have surrendered, many of them have been captured,” he added.
