Please let’s take a que.”
He said: “Highly esteemed senior citizens and colleagues, I am Major General John Enenche (Rtd).
“With the attainment of this rank in the Nigerian Military, it is morally demanding on me to add value to the corrupt political environment of our dear country by speaking out.
“In the same vein, I assumed that a good number of privileged Nigerians are also in this category cutting across the academia to the public and private sectors.
“My second assumption is that, all of us in this classification have the ears of the over one million suffering Nigerians.
“Thirdly, I assumed that people out there are expecting to hear from us for guidance to make up their minds about the kind of candidate they should vote for in the forthcoming 2023 general elections. Recall that the country invest so much to make us what we’re today.
“It is against this background that I’m calling on all in this group to pay Nigerians back by speaking out to the populace in order to give them direction. This is crucial in the political journey of our dear country.”
He further stressed that there should be no sitting on the fence adding; “The expression should be specific, loud and clear.”
