The Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen Tukur Buratai, has told those agitating for the dismemberment of Nigeria, especially, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB to forget the idea.
Buratai said this on Monday in Abuja while receiving an award from a coalition of more than 80 civil rights organizations.
“Those individuals and groups that are bent on destablising our country I think they have to wait till may be the next three or four millennia for them to do that. That is, may be the next generation of officers and men will allow them at all.
“Having been given the Millennium Hero award, I want to call on all the agitators for separation and other acts of destabilization, they better forget it, not in this era, not in this millennium.
“I want to say that we would continue to do our best to maintain security atmosphere that is needed as provided for in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We have been tasked to defend our country.
“We have taken a number of measures to ensure that the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists who are on the run are finally cleared, many have surrendered, many of them have been captured,” he said.
