The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam, has called on Nigerians, particularly the leaders to shun kicking against the Military Era in Nigeria.
This is even as he revealed that Military Government has lots of achievements to its credit.
According to him, the popular saying ‘dark days of military era’ is wrong and should be shunned, pointing out that there
were never dark days of military regime in the country as, according to him, Nigeria witnessed its highest infrastructural development stride during the military era,he said.
On the issue of the constitution, He urged politicians to desist from criticising the military, noting that the military never wrote the current constitution which is being condemned for having a military undercurrent, but brought in some brilliant civilians to draft it.
The Chairman who disclosed this at the commemoration of the International Youth Day Celebration 2024, made it clear that the Military actually did well in Nigeria.
“There were never dark days of the military era.
“You’ll find out that most of the infrastructure we have today were built under the same military we criticise and attack simply because they’re wearing uniforms.
“But look at the patriotism and commitment. We now restored democracy which is supposed to provide the basics for every citizen, today we’re talking about hunger.
“The nation is hungry and we think we’re right and others are wrong. Today we say no, ‘the constitution was imposed by the military’ but was it the military that wrote the constitution or the civilians, who were more brilliant that were brought in to write the constitution?
“Why do we discriminate against the military as if we don’t have the best talents all over the country? The military are making sacrifices, they’re being killed in the field to protect all of us but we sit down as politicians still condemning them.”he said.
