Former Head of State , Gen. Yakubu Gowon, on Tuesday in Uyo called on the Nigerian Armed Forces to go all out to flush out insurgents from the country.
Represented by retired Brig-Gen. Buba Marwa, Gowon made the call at the 2014 Chief of Army Staff Annual Conference holding at the Le Meridain Hotel, Uyo, Akwa Ibom.
He said that flushing out the insurgents was a task the armed forces, especially the Army, must accomplish without delay.
"I have not lost confidence in our armed forces. I want you to retrieve your honor by reversing some of these lapses into successes, losses into victories, and negative opinions into positive opinions. I charge you to go all out to flush those insurgents (Boko Haram) from our territories all the way back to where they came from.
"I trust you will win, I wish you the best of luck in your renewed endeavor,” the former Head of State said.
Gowon said that the Chief of Army Staff and the commanders needed to urgently correct the negative perception about Nigerian soldiers who in the past had a record of professionalism and competence.
