Metro Cote d’Ivoire: Obasanjo Appeals To Soldiers, Return To Your Barracks

[ProfRem]

Nigeria's ex-president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has expressed concern over soldiers protest in Cote d’voire over wage and bonus.

Cote d’voire is currently facing mass protest by her soldiers over wage and bonus dispute.

The soldiers had reportedly broke out of their barracks and embarked on sporadic shootings and threats to civilian lives over a wage and bonus dispute.


Obasanjo in a statement released in Abeokuta described the protest as unwholesome, appealed to the soldiers to embrace dialogue, and allow the government to look into their complaints.

He noted that though they were entitled to their wages and bonuses, they must act within the code of good conduct and military discipline.

Obasanjo, however, urged the government of Cote d’Ivoire to speedily attend to the complaints of the agitated soldiers to bring the country to normalcy.
