Abuja, Nigeria (CWBN)_ A warning was issued by Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, to the army generals against staging coups. Buratai strongly maintained that the Nigerian Army will not tolerate any destabilization intending to bring down democracy in the country.
“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.” Buratai said on Friday, having decorated 39 newly promoted Major Generals.
“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 added.
