President Muhammadu Buhari has described late General Joshua Dogonyaro (rtd), the man that announced his dethronement in a military coup of 1985, as a “thoroughbred officer” whose records in the Nigerian Army remain reference point and motivation to younger officers.
Represented by the Minister of Defence, Major General Bashir Magashi (rtd) at the funeral service of the late General yesterday in Jos, Buhari also described Dogonyaro as a patriotic, brave and disciplined officer who gave his all to serve Nigeria.
He said, “Nigeria remains grateful to late General Dogonyaro for his gallantry, patriotism and diligence in service to the nation particularly during his command of ECOMOG troops in Liberia.”
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Lantang, Plateau State extolled the military qualities of Lt-General Joshua Nimyel Dogonyaro, a one-time Chief of Defence Staff, days after describing him as one of the finest soldiers the Nigerian Army has ever produced.
In a funeral oration read on his behalf by the Minister of Defence, Major-General Bashir Magashi (rtd) at the burial ceremony of the late Dogonyaro, President Buhari said General Dogonyaro was “an icon of professionalism, bravery and discipline as amply demonstrated in the attributes he displayed in his national and international military assignments.”
The President added that “the late general was a reference point for us and will remain a source of inspiration for several officers, serving and retired. He was a great son of Nigeria, widely known for his uncommon loyalty to his country, a virtue which at this critical period of nationhood, Nigeria needs from all of us.”
