The CDS made the declaration while receiving the Commander of French Forces in Senegal, Brigadier General Pascal Facon when he paid courtesy call at Defence Headquarters, Abuja in furtherance of the French Government’s bilateral cooperation with the Nigerian Armed Forces.
According to a statement signed by Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, Acting Director of Defence Information “General Olonisakin maintained that no matter the several forces that are bent at entrenching disunity in some section of the country, the Nigerian military is capable of ensuring that the country will come out clean and even stronger”.
Earlier, the French Forces Commander in Senegal told his host that he was in Defence Headquarters in furtherance of President Muhammadu Buhari’s bilateral talks with the French President to collaborate in fighting insurgency in the North East.
He further applauded the Nigerian military for their successes made against the terrorists and assured of his country’s readiness to support the Nigerian Armed Forces in the areas of training and intelligence to defeat the terrorists and other maritime criminalities.
