Nigerian Army Goc Asks Disloyal Soldiers To Leave
The GOC of the Nigerian Army demands complete devotion to President Tinubu and urges unfaithful soldiers to leave
On August 30, 2023, Major General Mohammed Takuti Usman, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 81 Division Nigerian Army (NA), urged soldiers to always show loyalty to President Bola Tinubu and the legitimate authority.
At the 35 Artillery Brigade in Alamala, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Usman addressed the troops.
His remark comes as military coups are occurring in a number of African countries, with Gabon becoming the newest on Wednesday. Usman, flanked by Brigadier General, Mohammed Tajudeen Aminu, the Commander 35 Artillery Brigade, warned that Nigerian Armed Forces would not condone disloyalty.
The commander of the 35 Artillery Brigade, Tajudeen Aminu, issued a warning that the Nigerian Armed Forces would not tolerate disloyalty.
Although he acknowledged that there are some difficulties, they are not unique to the Brigade Command.
"While we are looking at the challenges and how to solve them, you have to be disciplined soldiers, you have to be loyal soldiers.
"When I say loyalty, your loyalty must start with the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces who is the President. That's first, and then down the ladder. Loyalty to the Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff, down to your Brigade Commander.
"You have to be loyal. There is no room for soldiers who are not loyal to the constituted authority, no. If you are not going to be loyal, then, leave, go and do other work. But the Armed Forces cannot stand it if you are not loyal.
"Discipline, loyalty and top professionalism. We are bearing arms so that other people can sleep well and go about their normal activities. You also have to be hardworking. If you go on any course, make sure you do your best and be among the best. Once you have all these, you will grow in this job," Usman said.
He pointed out that without soldiers, Nigeria wouldn't be a safe place.
