2023: Defence Headquarters Debunk Insinuations Suggesting Compromise Plot

CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF, LUCKY IRABOR 

The military and other security agencies are not pressured from desperate politicians to compromise the 2023 general elections.

This position was made public by the Defence Headquarters on Friday through a statement issued by the Director of Defence Information, Major General Jimmy Akpor, who also debunked reports attributed to the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, that the military is pressurised to scuttle next year’s polls. 

Major General Akpor described the reports as “false and a deliberate or inadvertent attempt to twist what was said, to convey a sinister meaning.

“The attention of the Defence Headquarters has been drawn to several headlines and news purporting to suggest that the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor CFR, had alluded to the military (and other security agencies) being pressured to compromise the 2023 elections.

“This impression was reportedly made during the 61st Session of the State House Briefing, which featured the Chief of Defence Staff, on 8 December 2022.”
