Speaking at the National Dialogue on Media, Terrorism, and National Security, held during the 21st All Nigeria Editors’ Conference in Abuja, Irabor said that the people must realize that the military uniform symbolises the authority, dignity and sovereignty of the Nigerian state.
According to him, any act of disrespect towards those wearing the uniform automatically amounts to an insult to the country itself.
Faulting commentators for “missing the point,” he stressed that the sanctity of the uniform is a representation of state power.
