The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) says Tuesday’s attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy, rather than dampen the morale of the Armed Forces as intended, will further buoy the military’s determination to make a decisive end of criminality in the country, .
This was contained in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, titled ‘Attack On NDA Won’t Dampen Resolve of Our Military To Bring Decisive End To Criminality, President Buhari Vows.’
The statement read in part, “the heinous action would accelerate the total uprooting of evil in the polity, which members of the Armed Forces are solidly resolved to accomplish in the shortest possible time.”
While commiserating with the families who lost their loved ones, and praying God to comfort them, Buhari “vowed that the deceased would not die in vain, as the degenerate act would have consequences that will eventually clean the country of vermin, and emancipate the polity from deliberate, targeted and contrived atrocious acts.”
The President also thanked Nigerians who value and appreciate the efforts of our military, and urges those playing hateful politics with the dastardly act to desist.
“This is the time for all patriots and people of goodwill to support and encourage those who are in the vanguard of the battle against wickedness in the land,” the statement read.
