The Soldier's Reaction Is The Courage of A Disciplined Soldier" - Army Bosses Tells Wike |egstarshowtv
Here is the view of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) about the stand-off between Wike and Yerima in Abuja.
"Every soldier has an element of madness...
For while the right thinking man withdraws from danger, a soldier charges towards it
GENERAL OO OLUYEDE OFR
CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF".
The Nigerian Defence Academy does not produce docile officers. The officer's response reflects admirable composure and emotional intelligence-qualities that lie at the heart of military leadership training. His ability to remain calm, firm, and respectful under verbal provocation demonstrates discipline and professionalism.
Nevertheless, it is both unfortunate and inappropriate for a federal minister to use such language toward a serving officer of the Armed Forces. Public officials should model civility and restraint, especially when addressing those in uniform who embody national service and sacrifice".
Notwithstanding, the case is subject to my scrutiny.
