“I don’t know why everything in this country would have to different.
If a whole COAS died and does not deserve the attention of the highest national authority, what will be the thinking of the lower cadre officers?
“All governors & President are supposed to attend his funeral unfailingly.
It is a symbolic gesture of solidarity with our military.
“We must work on the spirit of our national consciousness.
There are things that no matter what, we should not take for granted.
“Our leaders must understand that a country like Nigeria should be led from the frontline.
“We should love our national heroes death or alive.”
