We are not planning to overthrow buhari by military

The defence headquarters on Tuesday
dissociated the armed forces of Nigeria from the
circulation of document, calling for the overthrow
of the democratically elected government led by
President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement issued by Muhammed Wabi,
deputy director of defence information, the DHQ
accused a group, “Nigerian Continuity and
Progress’’ as being behind the document.
Wabi alleged that the document called for the
setting up of an “interim government’’ in place of
the elected government.
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria wishes to
dissociate itself from the rascality and
intentions as espoused in a document
being circulated by a faceless group
named Nigerian Continuity and Progress
calling for support of a revolution to oust
the current democratically elected
government and in its place establish an
illegitimate interim government,” the
statement read.
“The AFN outrightly condemns the
undemocratic and demonic actions of
the author of the document.
“Accordingly, members of the public are
enjoined to discountenance the content
of the documents being circulated by
NCP and equally condemned in totality,
the call to derail our hard-earned
democracy.”
The statement stressed that the armed forces of
Nigeria is very mindful of its constitutional
responsibilities and would not be misled into any
act that would undermine democracy as
enshrined in the 1999 Constitution as amended.
