Convener, Amb. Solomon Adodo and Secretary, Mallam Suleiman Musa in a statement cited the decimating of the notorious bandit, Alhaji Dogon Gide and scores of terrorist bandits as a legendary and unprecedented feat under the watch of the CDS.
The group passed a vote of confidence on all the Service Chiefs for solidly aligning with the Chief of Defence Staff and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu towards protecting Nigeria’s territorial integrity.
It particularly thanked President Tinubu for not failing Nigerians with his appointments and pledge to always support the military in all ways.
RUN noted: “For the first time in the history of Nigeria, there has been a topnotch synergy between the military, thanks to the professional handiwork and battlefield acumen of Gen. Christopher Musa. We are thrilled to be part of this history as staunch advocates for increased security spendings, intelligence gathering and sharing. At last, Nigeria is winning and we are all winning.
“In the last couple of weeks alone and in collaboration with the Army, the Nigerian Air Force carried out precision attacks on terrorists in Borno State, killing scores of terrorists and liberating their strongholds. Similar strikes also led to the elimination of scores of notorious terrorists who have been terrorising and inflicting huge casualties on officers and men of the Nigerian military as well as civilians. It will therefore, be selfish if we fail to appreciate this illustrious military General and his exploits”.
On the release of the Kuriga School children in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, the group attested that, the swiftness with which the Military successfully engaged and secured the hostages has placed them amongst the best military forces worldwide in terms of specialised hostage recovery operations.
“The Nigerian military had been known for exploits and bravery but what we have witnessed with the release of the Kaduna School children is beyond ordinary. There is no military anywhere around the world that can match the prowess of our military in terms of this elite operation and we are proud of Gen Musa for leading the battle against all forms of crimes threatening the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country”, the statement added.
The group concluded by passing a resounding vote of confidence on the military high command and thanking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for bequeathing on Nigerians the finest breed of officers as Security Chiefs.
RUN, a national Civil Society Organisation (CSO) with interest in fighting insecurity, corruption and institutionalising good governance has over the years engaged the Nigerian military and other security agencies as well as leading advocacy campaigns in the area of tackling insecurity with fruitful outcomes.
