Nigeria Being Brought To Ruin By Useless Criminals’, TY Danjuma Knocks Military, Insists On Self-Defence Kayode Oyero

 ‘

Updated October 22, 2022



Former Chief of Army Staff, Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma, says Nigeria is being brought to ruin by heavily armed “useless” criminals.


The former defence minister, who insisted on self-defence to drive out country’s common “enemy”, said Nigeria will be finished if this is not done.


The octogenarian spoke on Saturday when he delivered a goodwill message in Wukari, Taraba State, where Governor Darius Ishaku presented staff of office to His Majesty Manu Ishaku Adda Ali, the 25th Aku Uka.


He knocked the military for living in denial over Nigeria’s aggravating security challenges, saying the “evidence” of what he said four years ago is now obvious for all eyes to see.


Danjuma had in March 2018 urged Nigerians to defend themselves against their killers but his call for self-defence attracted stark criticisms.


Four years later, the former defence chief on Saturday said, “Our country is under siege by armed bandits, all over the country when some few years ago, I warned that the Armed Forces are either not capable or unwilling to protect us and that we must defend ourselves.


“The first denial of what I said came from the Ministry of Defence they said I was lying and they set up a kangaroo Board of Inquiry to investigate the truth or otherwise of what I said and they invited me to come and testify, I did not go.


“They wrote their report which said which said that I was only speculating, that there was no evidence. And now there is evidence; the whole country now is being run and overrun.”


 


‘Bandits Trying To Recolonise Us, Take Our Land, We Must Fight’

 


Danjuma, who said armed bandits are trying to recolonise Nigerians and take over autochthonous lands, noted that the people must fight to resist invaders.


He further urged the new traditional ruler to reunite his subjects for the defence of the country against marauders, saying the best form of defence is attack.

“Right now, we are all sitting ducks, these people are armed to the teeth with all weapons of mass destruction and we don’t have them but we have the numbers and the land belongs to us. They are trying to recolonise us and take over or land. Can I allow you to defend yourselves?” he asked the crowd who chanted a loud ‘Yes’.


Continuing, the ex-COAS said, “They said I told them to defend themselves, I didn’t give them arms. I will not give you arms, find out how these people got it. Use the same means to defend yourselves.


“This beautiful land called Nigeria, the biggest country for black men in the whole world is being brought to ruin by absolutely useless criminals. But how did they get here? Of course, some of them are foreigners and there are collaborators.


“So, my prayer is that God Almighty that has given us this land will give us the courage to face our enemy and locate where he is and drive him out of the country. This we must do otherwise Nigeria is finished.”


With unending attacks by bandits and terrorists all over the country, some governors have also called for self-defence. They include Bello Matawalle (Zamfara), Aminu Masari (Katsina) and Samuel Ortom (Benue).

APC Presidential Ticket: Jonathan Strategises Defection, Recruits Loyal Kinsmen

APC Presidential Ticket: Jonathan Strategises Defection, Recruits Loyal Kinsmen LATEST NEWSNEWS By Daniel Abia On Mar 26, 2022 Former President, Goodluck Jonathan may most likely shock Nigerians any time soon by defecting from the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and subsequently picking the sole ticket of the party as a consensus candidate for the 2023 presidential election. For this reason, the former President has started to rally around his kinsmen in the Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State to make this dream a reality. Part of this strategy was to get some of his kinsmen and political associates in support of his ambition in the PDP into electoral offices in the forthcoming general election.
