“What we are looking and begging for is that Nigerians, aside from patience which they have exhibited over time, must please understand that this war that we are fighting can only be achieved if we all join hands together.
“In terms of providing that information and support for the arm forces. And when I say support, I’m talking about avoiding spreading rumours, fake news that could dampen the morale of our troops out there.
“Have you seen how other countries treat their armed forces? Armed forces that are far less in combatants or sophistication than the Nigerian armed forces.
