President Goodluck Jonathan Friday in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau warned that the global community was no longer inclined to tolerate a role in governance by the military in Africa and other parts of the world.Addressing a special session of the National Peoples's Assembly during his visit to Guinea-Bissau, President Jonathan called on the country's Armed Forces to embrace total respect for democracy and constitutionalism in the interest of their nation.
"It is no longer fashionable today to see the military parading themselves as the custodians of political power. Rather, it is fashionable for the military to embrace the protection, preservation and total respect for constitutional order and democracy in order to build a prosperous and an egalitarian society," President Jonathan said at the session which was also attended by members of the diplomatic corps and representatives of civil society organizations.
