Military Vows to Crush Any Plot to Disrupt Edo Governorship Election
Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has issued a stern warning to individuals or groups planning to incite unrest before, during, or after the upcoming gubernatorial election in Edo State.
Speaking on Wednesday, the CDS emphasized that any such attempts to disrupt the election process should be abandoned.
General Musa made it clear that the military has been given a direct mandate from the President to maintain peace and ensure that the election in the South-South state is conducted in a free, fair, and credible manner.
He highlighted the military’s readiness to enforce stability and protect the integrity of the election, reassuring the public that the security forces would act swiftly against any threats to the electoral process.
Musa’s remarks are part of broader efforts to guarantee a smooth and transparent election, with the military playing a crucial role in maintaining law and order throughout the process.
The CDS stressed that any attempts to manipulate the electoral process or create chaos would not be tolerated, and the military is fully prepared to respond to such actions.
He called on all political actors and citizens to respect the rule of law and allow the will of the people to prevail.
With the election approaching, the military’s presence is set to reinforce the commitment to upholding democracy and ensuring that voters can exercise their rights without fear or interference.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
