Buratai to Biafra agitators:- You won’t achieve your aim in my lifetime
Buratai to Biafrans:- You won’t achieve your aim in my lifetime
Tukur Buratai, chief of army staff, has told those agitating for an independent state to “forget it.”
Of the groups clamouring for sovereignty, the campaigns of Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) are the most pronounced.
They have even had the cause to clash with security agents.
Speaking in Abuja after receiving an award conferred on him by a coalition of over 80 civil society organisations (CSOs), Buratai said the army would not condone any act that could lead to the disintegration of the country.
He also promised that insurgency would soon be a thing of the past.
“Those individuals and groups that are bent on destabilizing our country I think they have to wait till may be the next three or four millennium for them to do that. That is, may be the next generation of officers and men will allow them at all,” he said.

“Having been given the millennium hero award, I want to call on all the agitators for separation and other acts of destabilization, they better forget it, not in this era, not in this millennium.
“I want to say that we would continue to do our best to maintain security atmosphere that is needed as provided for in the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria. We have been tasked to defend our country.
