The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has warned that the Nigerian Army would never tolerate any agent of destabilization bent on scuttling the current democratic dispensation.
“Do not hobnob with politicians. At this rank of two-star generals, if you want to lobby for an appointment, lobby the Chief of Army Staff and you can only do this through hard work, discipline and loyalty,” he further warned.
Speaking on Friday during the decoration of 39 newly promoted Major-Generals, Buratai said “Democracy has come to stay. We will not tolerate any agent of destabilization. The years of military misadventure in politics have never carried us anywhere. It is over.”
He warned generals against staging any coup and against lobbying with politicians for appointments.
“All our eyes are on you,” he added.
