An ex-serviceman, Major Atawodi Achile (retd), has alerted President Muhammadu Buhari over the implication of the proposed Armed Forces Bill by the Senate if passed into law.
The erstwhile military officer made this known in an open letter to President Buhari, where he described sponsors of the bill as forces after the soul of Nigeria.
Major Achile, a former serviceman under the Nigerian Army and now security expert, said it is “irrational, abberrational, inchoate, corrosive, abuse of legislative powers and traduces military tradition” for the National Assembly to embark in such path.
According to him, the NASS is being instigated by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe and others interested in overthrowing the current administration and truncating the nation’s democracy.
The veteran warlord, however, urged the president to take “decisive actions to checkmate the veiled infiltration of our National Assembly by foreign forces and agents in furtherance of the destabilization plots against Nigeria”.
