Steer Clear from Politics- Buratai warns Army Officers

COAS WARNS OFFICERS OF THE NIGERIAN ARMY TO STEER CLEAR FROM POLITICS

This is to inform the public that the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Nigerian Army, Lieutenant General TY Buratai,  has  received information that some individuals have been  approaching some officers and soldiers for undisclosed political reasons. On the basis of that, he has warned such persons to desist from these acts.

He also reminded them that Nigerian Army is a thorough professional, disciplined, loyal and apolitical institution that has clear Constitutional roles and responsibilities.  

Therefore, he seriously warned and advised all officers and soldiers interested in politics, to resign their  commission or apply for voluntary discharge  forthwith.

Any officer or soldier of Nigerian Army found to be hobnobbing with such elements or engaged in unprofessional conducts such as politicking would have himself or herself to blame.

The COAS has further  reiterated that the Nigerian Army will remain apolitical and respect the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.
