Group known as Grassroots Advocacy for Good Governance in Nigeria has lent their voice in defense of the Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla warning those who are raising allegation against the Naval Chief to stop disturbing him with falsehood to enable him focus on the good works he is doing.
Recall that an online medium known as the Peoples’ Gazette in a report had accused the Naval Chief of facilitating an unorganised bunkering of Nigerian crude and a multimillion-naira contract-splitting fraud..
Reacting to the allegation in a Press Conference he addressed in Abuja, the convener and national leader of the grassroots based advocacy group Alhaji Muritala Mohammed alias ten ten described the allegation as a handwork of mischief makers from the opposition circle who have no job to do except cooking falsehood against serious minded citizens.
Alhaji ten ten a reknowned grassroots mobilizer for the ruling party the All Progressive Congress (APC) who is the Deputy National Chairman of Heavy Duty & Haulage Transport Association of Nigeria noted that Ogalla was carefully selected by President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to drive the Renewed Hope Agenda in the area of security and so far so good, the Naval Chief has proved to be much equal to the task.
He described Vice Admiral Ogalla as a hardworking Naval officer well committed to serve his country with no skeleton in his cupboard warning that any attempt to disturb him howsoever will incure the wrath of grassroots group and consequently lead to a nationwide mass protest likely to ground the country mostly Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT)
“Enough is enough, people should allow the Chief of Naval Staff to do his job, how could anyone asscoiate a man who have worked hard to attain the height of the highest ranking Naval officer in Nigeria with such falsehood? we are ready to occupy Abuja the FCT if any negative thing happens to him. We are all out here to defend the truth and hardworking, let these mischief makers clear off and allow him to focus on his job” the transporter and APC grassroots mobilizer maintained
