*Insecurity: Military Remains Guardian of Nigeria’s Unity and Democracy – Gen Abdulsalami, IBB, Others*

_•Youths Urged to Embrace Service and Commitment_

_•Revelations on Abacha’s ‘Phantom Coups’ in the Book “Nine Lives”

Former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar and other prominent Nigerians have emphasised the Nigerian military’s crucial role in safeguarding the nation’s unity and democracy.

Speaking at the public presentation and book launch of ‘Nine Lives: The Bello-Fadile Memoirs’ in Abuja on Monday, Abdulsalami highlighted the military’s significance as a stabilizing force in Nigeria.

The book, authored by Col. Bello Fadile (rtd), a central figure in the 1995 “phantom coup” against the late General Sani Abacha, provides a detailed account of this turbulent period. Abdulsalami commended the author for his patriotism and unwavering commitment to democracy and national unity. He encouraged Nigerian youths to emulate Fadile’s life of service and dedication.

“Youths have a critical role in nation-building,” Abdulsalami stated, reiterating the need for patriotism, dedication, and selflessness as exemplified by Col. Fadile. “Fadile’s unwavering commitment, even in the face of trials, is an example of how young people can contribute to nation-building. A life of service, whether in the military, public office, or civil society, strengthens the fabric of our country.”

Abdulsalami also acknowledged the sacrifices made by soldiers to secure peace in Nigeria, urging young Nigerians to adopt a spirit of national service and collective effort for the future of the country. He praised Fadile’s continuous pursuit of knowledge and his dedication to Nigeria’s progress, describing him as a brilliant lawyer and a role model for all Nigerians.

He said: “An excellent scholar, Fadile has continued to seek knowledge,  stay curious and remain committed to Nigeria’s progress. It is this relentless pursuit of  excellence and deep sense of duty that makes him a role model for all Nigerians.

“At a time when our nation faces internal and external threats, it is essential to remember that the military is not an isolated institution, but a guardian of national unity.”

Former President Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, represented by his daughter, Aisha Babangida, also lauded Fadile’s bravery and resilience.

“Even in the face of tribulation, he remained undaunted and consistent in the best tradition of resilience,” Babangida said. “Bello Fadile never gave up until he gained freedom at the onset of this democracy. His rich intellectuality stimulated deeper conversations around democracy and good governance.”

Prof. Agbo Madaki, who reviewed the book, disclosed that “Nine Lives” reveals truths about the coup different from the narrative branded by the Nigerian media as a “phantom coup.” The book, divided into five chapters, narrates events leading up to the author’s experiences. Madaki praised Fadile’s narrative power, vivid recollections, and poetic skill, making the book an engaging read.

Madaki urged the Nigerian military to eradicate practices associated with military regimes, such as human rights abuses, dictatorship, disregard for the rule of law, and corruption. He emphasized the need for the military to focus on safeguarding peace, human life, and law and order, rather than seizing power.

“Students of government and history will find the book very interesting as it captures significant events in Nigeria’s history,” Madaki noted. “The book serves as an inspiration to those who may want to give up on their dreams because of trials, to look at the life of the author and learn how to be strong and maintain faith in God during adversity.”

Col. Bello Fadile expressed his gratitude to all participants, recounting his struggles through years of service. He appreciated those who attended the launch despite their busy schedules.

Goodwill messages were delivered by other dignitaries, including former Senate President David Mark, Sen. Ndoma Egba, former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Kano Agabi, former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Luther Martin Agwai, and former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), among others.
