Friday, October 15th, 2004 HOME | Previous Page Udenwa urges military to endure pains of democracy By Ben Duru Correspondent, Owerri Governor Achike Udenwa of Imo State has appealed to the armed forces to tolerate the mistakes of the political leadership, saying the mistakes would be corrected in the course of time. He explained that no mistake was too much to be corrected if Nigerians are determined to continue with democracy, adding that the military should also be patient so that the country could achieve its set goals. Udenwa said when he received the General Officer Commanding, GOC 82 Division of the Nigerian Army based in Enugu, Maj. Gen. Abdul Haziz Gbadegesin Adewuyi, that the present hiccups in the nation is not enough excuse for the military to disrupt democracy. He said the cordial relationship existing between Imo indigenes and the men and officers of the 34 Field Artillery, Obinze is an indication that both could live together without acrimony. He explained that his administration has continued to promote relationships that promote peace. The governor added that with the kind of leadership within the military and the new discipline that is found within their rank and file, peace would continue to reign and democracy would blossom to the good of both the civilians and military. He said as is the case with some African countries, it is a little bit difficult for the military to hand over and maintain very good relationship with those they handed over to, adding that for the continued economical and social development, the military and civil society must continue to collaborate. The GOC reiterated the determination of the military top brass to continue with the training and re-training of the armed forces to make them a formidable force within and outside Nigeria. Adewuyi said the relationship between the military and the civil society in the state is cordial and assured that his men would not do anything to disrupt it. HE said it was because of the rapport that the military high command agreed that this year’s Chief of Army Staff games be held in Owerri and urged the governor to accept its hosting. Copyright� 2004.
