A soldier serving in the Nigerian army has in a video trending online appealed to Nigerians to vote wisely in the 2023 general election.
In the viral clip, the soldier said if Nigerians fail to vote for the right leader, a war that is supposed to last for 24 hours will go on for years.
He stated that the peace of the nation is largely dependent on the leaders that will be voted into office in the forthcoming election.
He further added that the citizens have the power to vote in the leader but soldiers only take orders from their commanders, who in turn receive orders from the leaders.
Watch the soldier speak below,
The video has elicited different reactions on social media, with many attesting to the truth of his statement while others expressed concern for the soldier because of the law guiding the social media usage of military men in Nigeria.
