Buratai gave this order while speaking at the Chief of Army Staff 1st Quarter Conference in Abuja Federal Capital Territory. He warned GOCs, Brigade Commandeers and other officers interested in politics and romancing with politicians, “to resign before it is too late.
The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), had issued a stern warning to all officers and soldiers in the Nigerian Army to steer clear of politics. Reaffirming his stand on Tuesday, Buratai harped on the need for men of the NA to remain apolitical, especially as Nigeria approaches election year. He warned, “Let me state emphatically here that the unity and integrity of Nigeria lies on the military and the NA in particular. Therefore, any act inimical to the unity and integrity of this country by personnel of the NA will be decisively dealt with. The NA must remain apolitical and professionally responsive in the discharge of its constitutional roles. GOCs and Field Commanders at all levels are, therefore, warned that anyone that runs foul of his professional ethics will be appropriately dealt with.
Furthermore, NA personnel in any capacity who receives any form of inducement from politicians, public or private entities, knowingly or unknowingly will be severely punished. Both the giver and taker of such inducement will be investigated and appropriately sanctioned. I have directed for a Special Standing Court Martial to be set up in preparation for the coming 2019 elections. I must warn that any NA personnel found hobnobbing with politicians or being partisan will be investigated and sent to the Special Standing Court Martial. I must state clearly that any officer or soldier who wishes to be sympathetic to a political, religious or ethnic group should voluntarily retire from the NA''
