The troops of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, AFN, has the capacity to not only match enemies of the country, but will continue to decimate them in numbers, the Unity Advocacy Group, UAG, has boasted.

The Group, further commended troops for remaining focused on tackling the various security challenges in the country.

The group, while expressing excessive pride in the troops for brutally confronting the enemies, in a statement issued on Tuesday by Ifeanyi Aigbedion, its Convener, however, warned the military will not be distracted by deliberate acts of controversy from any quarters.

This is as UAG commended the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen.Christopher Gwabin for his election as the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient of the Year’ by Nigerians both at home and in Diaspora.

UAG said despite deliberate acts of controversy from some quarters, troops of the Armed Forces of Nigeria continue to not only match enemies of the country, but decimate them in numbers.

The group further commended the vow by the CDS that the military high command under his watch would never allow intimidation and any other act of violence in Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa States where governorship elections would be held.

According to UAG, “It is indeed a cheering news because some detractors have continued to look for ways to draw the Armed Forces into their selfish issues.

“We also urge the media, especially not to fall for the detractors. Some of who are benefitting from the security challenges and looking for ways to draw the military into what is happening in the country.

“We commend the CDS for his forthright disposition and determination to ensure peace and stability.

“UAG say that the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient of the Year’ on the CDS is a true statement of the fight against insurgency. We say it is well deserved,” the group added.
