Retired military personnel and the Federal Government are set for a confrontation over a proposed veterans' bill, which some see as an attempt to impose new regulations on their welfare and representation. The dispute could escalate into a major showdown between the two parties.

A potential confrontation is unfolding between the Nigerian government and retired military personnel, who are set to take on the administration over a proposed bill aimed at addressing veterans' welfare and representing their interests. The Federal Government has been accused of imposing the bill without consulting with stakeholders, leading to concerns that it may not adequately address the needs of military retirees. According to sources, the military retirees are planning to stage a showdown with the government over the bill, which is currently under review by lawmakers. If negotiations fail, the impasse could potentially escalate into a wider public dispute.
