The Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor has assured Nigerians of the military’s commitment to the growth of democracy in the country.

He added that the military in collaboration with other security agencies would stop at nothing to ensure the country is adequately secured as part of its effort to contribute to the development of the country.

Irabor spoke at the regimental dinner organised for the outgoing president, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (retd), on Tuesday night in Abuja.

The event is part of the activities lined up for the handover ceremony for President-elect, Bola Tinubu.

He, however, pledged the military’s loyalty to the president and constitution as Buhari bows out of office.

He said, “Our determination to uphold democratic growth is rock solid. I assure you that the Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies will consolidate all the successes recorded so far, especially on the ongoing counter-insurgency and anti-banditry operations across the country. We shall continuously and tirelessly strive to secure all that constitute Nigeria’s wealth as our contribution to national development.

” On behalf of officers and personnel of the armed forces, the police, and other security agencies I most sincerely thank the president for gracing this occasion. Your coming has boosted our morale. Consequently, I hereby reaffirmed our loyalty to the president and the constitution of Nigeria as this administration rounds off.”Some time ago I was wondering if President Muhammadu Buhari would wear the three uniforms. He wore the uniform of a field marshal during the Nigerian Army trooping the colour parade. I knew that Air Force Day was in early May and I wondered if he would wear the air force uniform on that day, but he didn’t attend the ceremony, instead he was represented by Osinbajo.

He wore the uniform of an admiral of the fleet at the Nigerian Navy’s presidential fleet review and I thought that he had missed the opportunity to wear an air force uniform.

Now he has completed the trilogy by wearing the uniform of a marshal of the air force.
