Dear Sir,
STOP YOUR BAD PRESS AGAINST THE
NIGERIAN MILITARY
We are a group of
patriotic Nigerians that came together under the banner of CITIZENS IN DEFENCE
OF THE INTEGROTY OF NIGERIAN MILITARY (CDINM). We have noted with disgust and
total indignation, the continued hostility and anti-Nigerian military reports
and commentary of your newspaper, the Daily Trust. As concerned Nigerians who
daily monitor news and developments in the country, particularly the
counter-terrorist operation in the north east, we are appalled to note that
your newspaper has consistently reported the activities of our military in a
manner that neither represent the truth or promote the course of our national
security.
We are here
therefore to formally register our deep resentment over your editorial policy which
seems to have allowed the primordial sentiments of ethnicity, religion politics
or whatever interests to becloud your sense of nationalism even when reporting
sensitive national security matters like the ongoing war against terror. Your
consistent and unwarranted negative reportage of the military gives vent to
parochialism and partisanship and has without doubt casted our gallant military
in bad light while emboldening the terrorists and casting them in a toga of
invincibility.
A lot of us here
are from the states mostly affected by the activities of the terrorists. We
have lost relations and friends; our towns and communities are devastated, our
people forced into refugee situation in their own country. Our interest
therefore is to assist our military to end this scourge to enable us live our
normal lives again. We do not need media reports that will aggravate the
situation or embolden the terrorists and their accomplices.
Our visit here
today is essentially to add our voice of caution to those whose stock in trade
is to willfully denigrate and ultimately destroy the only indispensable and
unifying institution in our dear country to be mindful of the dangers and
consequences of your perfidy and to remind you that Nigerian is greater than
them. Please be reminded that we are not your enemies or protagonists; we are
rather your loyal readers who are concerned about your unfair reports and
commentary against our cherished military. Thank you as you make amends
beginning from today.
