However, for the sake of clarity and to keep the records straight, we wish to state that at no time did the Director, Army Public Relations, issue any statement on the subject matter. It is, therefore, a figment of their imagination, which did not in any way emanate from Nwachukwu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nwachukwu said that officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army did not need to be \u201cwarned against overthrowing Buhari\u2019s government\u201d, saying their loyalty to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and to the Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces had never been in doubt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Nigerian Army is a reputable national and patriotic institution that has fully subordinated itself to civil authority, having stood unwaveringly in defence of the nation\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will continue to be steadfast in defending Nigeria\u2019s constitution and the much-cherished democracy by providing aid to civil authority, whenever it is called upon to so do,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen.
