There is a principle in government called “Delegated Authority”, by virtue of Wike’s position as the CinC’s Minister of the FCT, he carries his authority and mandate by delegation. If the young and naive Naval officer does not recognize that President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was actually the one standing before him at that material time then I think his training at the NDA is faulty.
I may be wrong, but you see that act by the Naval young lad? It is a direct affront on the authority of Mr President which can amount to mutiny and punishable by de@th under the very laws guiding his military practice!
You may not like Wike, but do not undermine the office he represents. It is not in the best interest of civil leadership!
Those who tacitly and openly supported an allegedly foiled Military coup against PBAT will certainly not want to understand this line of thought.
We love our Military Officers, but they must understand their place in a democracy. We can’t concede any inch of our civil space to those who rule by the barrel of the gun. They must remain in the barracks and on the borders working hard to ensure that we are no longer a “Country of Particular Concern”.
