The Minister of Defence Major General Bashir Salihu Magashi (retd), has cautioned #EndSARS protesters against breaching National Security.
According to a statement by the special assistant on media and publicity to the minister, Magashi gave the caution when the National Coordinator of the Buhari Campaign Organisation, Danladi Pasali, led the Executives drawn from its Headquarters, Zonal and State levels on a courtesy visit to him at the Ministry of Defence, Ship House, Abuja.
He extoled the virtues of President Muhammadu Buhari whom he described as a forthright leader, while thanking members of BCO for promoting his political ideology, democratic governance, Rule of Law and philosophy.
The minister who told the group of his pioneering membership of the Buhari Organisation which dates back to the years of All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), urged them to fortify their flanks and ranks against subversive penetration of mischief makers capable of causing distraction, disaffection and division among them.
He assured them of the support of the ministry in actualising their lofty programmes in raising the bar of national security.
He said they should leverage on their structure in the 774 Local Council areas and 36 states of the federation as well as the Federal Capital Territory to gather intelligence and channel it to the appropriate authorities for action.
Earlier, Pasali said the objective of the courtesy call was to congratulate the minister on his one year in office and introducing reforms in the military.
He recalled the dogged and dedicated role played by the group in the electoral victories of President Buhari in the 2011 and 2019 Presidential election, adding that the organisation was spurred to establish National/ Community Support Security Initiative to key into the fight against Boko Haram terrorists in the North East, banditry in the North Central and kidnapping in the Niger Delta.
He therefore solicited the backing of the ministry for the initiative to succeed towards contributing their quota to the maintenance of peace, security and socio-economic development of the country.
