The Nation Newspaper ACF lauds FG’s denial of establishing foreign military bases in Nigeria
The mouthpiece of Northern Nigeria, the Arewa Consultative Forum , has welcomed the statement by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosing that the federal government has no plans to allow foreign military bases in Nigeria.
“ACF finds such support patently shocking, shortsighted, and against everything Nigeria stands for at the moment. We are an independent, sovereign African country in uncompromising solidarity with all sister Africans, especially ECOWAS states in the struggles against all vestiges of the intolerable stranglehold of colonialism and neo-colonialism that have for far too long held down Africa in conditions of underdevelopment.
“HURIWA ought to realize that the presence of the bases has undeniably failed to result in any demonstrable decline in the activities of terrorist and insurgent groups that have been wrecking political, economic, and social conditions in the sister countries.Arewa berates Kano Gov over alleged involvement in purported sack of Ganduje as APC National chair
“It is thus instructive that the desire to establish the military bases emanates, not from African countries, but from the foreign powers themselves, and it is as if the Berlin Conference is being updated and re-enacted now, in the 21st Century.
