Man shares what naval officer should have done
According to Ifeanyi, Yerima should not have escalated the situation by exchanging words with the minister.
He said Yerima should have just stated that he was acting on an order and left it at that. Ifeanyi noted that a verbal altercation with a federal minister was bad conduct.
He also cautioned Wike to calm down. Ifeanyi wrote:
"The Navy guy should NOT have escalated the disagreement by exchanging words with the Minister of FCT... just say he’s acting according to order. Finish. Verbal altercation with a federal minister is NOT a good conduct for a sailor. Also, Wike needs to calm down."
In the comment section, Ifeanyi supported his earlier position on the matter, which has circulated on social media. In his words:
"Why is it that many people don’t understand that military people follow a different rule of engagement.
"They swore allegiance to the state and constitution. They will always follow the chain of command.
"We civilians did NOT swear to obey anyone. We can insult our president and senators the way we want. We are free people.
"Military personnels are NOT free like us. They must follow orders and they cannot rebuke the presidency.
"The president is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. His orders supersedes every other officer in the military. And military personnel should not engage in verbal altercation with anyone acting on behalf of the president.
"These are not normal rules for civilians."
