WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY REASON WHY TINUBU'S PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION SHOULDN'T GO PLACE - MILITARY
'Nothing will happen,' says the military of Tinubu's inauguration
The Military High Command has underlined that the transfer of power from President Muhammadu Buhari to President-elect Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2023, will take place smoothly and without incident.
Major General Musa Danmadami, Director, Defence Media Operations, offered the assurance while answering journalists' queries following the bi-weekly press briefing on military actions on Thursday in Abuja.
He stated that the police and other security agencies were collaborating to eliminate any potential threat to Tinubu's inauguration as president.
He went on to say that military officers will keep the country safe before, during, and after the transition, which is set to take place at the end of the month.
"As far as internal security is concerned, the police still remain the lead agency. The Armed Forces and other security operatives are only playing a supportive role. I will reiterate that we are on standby to make sure that nothing unwanted happens.
"The issue of threat to the security and stability of the country is addressed promptly. Elections have come and gone. For the presidential election, a winner has been announced.
"There is a transition committee in place comprising all members of the security agencies, ministries and agencies of government to make sure the event is held successfully and without a glitch.
"We don't see reasons why there should be a problem during the activity. The inauguration will come and go and nothing will happen. We are not going to relent at ensuring there is peace and stability across the length and breath of the country," the DHQ spokesperson stated
