Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has said that the activities of Boko Haram in some parts of Nigeria are putting pressure on the sustainability of the unity of the nation.

Ajimobi made this observation at an interactive session on Civil Society Organisations-Military Relations in Nigeria with the theme: “Consolidating Civil-Military Relations for Improved National Security” held at the 2 Mechanised Division of the Nigerian Army, Ibadan on Monday.

He revealed that the Nigeria military has so far successfully contained and repelled the advancement of the needless insurgency but at very great cost to its officers and men.

Ajimobi highlighted the importance of unity in the fight against insecurity and threat to the nation’s unity, calling on the public and the military to embrace cordial relationship to achieve the desired nation’s security.

He concluded however that Nigerian civil public cannot afford to stand aloof from the military, but support the Nigerian military in its quest to protect the nation and it territorial borders.
