The Chief of Army Staff, Taoreed Lagbaja, on Wednesday, said the army will not truncate democracy because Nigerians prefer democratic rule to the military junta.
“The armed forces of Nigeria, particularly the Nigerian Army, has come to terms with the country’s choice of democracy as the preferred system of governance,” Mr Lagbaja said at the 5th annual seminar on career timing and management held at Abuja.
Mr Lagbaja said the Nigerian Army is an agent of democracy and would always defend the Nigerian Constitution.
