Former military president Gen Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida yesterday said that the country's democracy has nothing to fear as the military will not overthrow
the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
According to him, the military will not overthrow the present civilian government on the grounds that its officers have been exposed to training and exposure on the tenets of democracy.
Babangida spoke at the graduation/anniversary lecture of the National Defence College (NDC) in Abuja as the distinguished guest speaker.
Speaking on a theme "The Creation of National Defence College (NDC): Twenty Years After",
Babangida said: "I can say without equivocation that our democracy faces no danger from the military. This is because the curriculum of the
NDC has exposed participants to the tenets of democracy from inception. Long before Nigeria returned to democratic rule, military officers who passed through this college were prepared for life of service under civilian leadership and control." (Leadership)
