pleaded with the military not to
interrupt governance in the country,
just as it gave assurance that the
problem of insurgency, communal
clashes among other challenges would
all soon be things of the past.
Information minister, Labaran Maku,
while handing over in Abuja, as
Supervising Minister of Defence to the
new minister, Gen. Aliyu Gusau, told
the military not to consider the
utterances against 2015 as well as Boko
Haram fight especially by the Borno
State governor, Kashim Shetima, saying
that "even the state governor has the
misfortune of discretion."
Begging the military not to take over
power due to the insecurity in the
country, he said:
"We are already heading towards
electoral situation and there have
been a lot of utterance from
within and outside the country.
One great thing the armed forces
will continue to do is to remain
loyal to the constitution,
Commander-In-Chief and the
democratic system."
The minister expressed regrets that
while Boko Haram was orchestrating
crisis in the country on one hand, the
political class on the other hand, were
also overheating the polity over the
2015 general elections.
He pleaded with the military to
discountenance the inflammatory
utterances by politicians on the security
and political challenges in the country,
demanding their continuous loyalty to
democratic structures.
The minister, Gen. Aliyu Gusau,
promised to do his best to restore
normalcy in North-East and other areas.
