Resist tribalism like plague – Sultan to Nigerian Army

Resist tribalism like plague – Sultan to Nigerian Army

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has
appealed to the Nigerian Army to resist tribalism, warning that it could divide
the institution and the country.

 

The Sultan made this call on Wednesday in Bauchi at the
commissioning of the newly constructed Nigerian Army Armoured Corps
headquarters complex and the reunion and pulling out parade of retired senior
armoured officers.

 

“You are in the military now and many issues are centered
around where you come from, who is a Muslim, who is a Christian, who is Hausa,
Igbo or Yoruba in the country. We never knew these things many years ago.
Please, don’t allow this to seep into the army as it would be the one thing that
could divide us and the country,” the monarch said.

 

The royal father also warned citizens against maligning
military personnel engaged in various operations to restore peace across the
country.

 

“Nigerians need to help and pray for the military because without
security, we cannot even go to sleep, go to work or even to worship centres,”
he stressed.

 

On his part, Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed,
represented by his deputy, Auwal Mohammed Jatau, assured of the state’s
readiness to support the Nigerian Army and other security agencies in ensuring
peace and the protection of lives and property of citizens.
