Nigerian army speaks buratai's role arms deal scandal. by Nobody: 12:31pm On Jan 25, 2016
The army in the statement called
the STNM a group of blackmailers
and mischief makers.

Usman said: “The Nigerian army has
noted with dismay the attempt to
rubbish the hard earned name and
reputation of the Chief of Army Staff,
Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf
Buratai and the Nigerian army by a
faceless group that called itself Save
the Nation Movement (STNM)
through orchestrated campaign of
calumny in the media.


“The public will recall our earlier
warning of this type of campaign of
calumny against the Nigerian army
and the Chief of Army Staff. This has
reared its ugly head again.
Unfortunately, the movement could
not get their facts right as has
always been the case with people
with dubious intents.
The army’s spokesperson stated that
contrary to group’s mischief, Buratai
was Director of Procurement at
Defence Headquarters from March
2014 to May 2015, not from 2012 to
2015 as was said.


The statement further reads:
“Furthermore, there is the need to
educate the ignorant group that,
Defence Procurement in Nigeria is
decentralised each Service is
responsible for its procurement. It is
advisable for the group to look
elsewhere if they want to attack the
Chief of Army Staff. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Chief of
Army Staff has never been involved
in any questionable act throughout
his career as military officer let alone
when he was at the DHQ.

“As a matter of fact, the Chief of
Army Staff has always been a
reference point in exemplary
conduct, probity and integrity. It is
on record that he voluntarily
declared his assets both as
Commander MNJTF and as Chief of
Army Staff. In addition, he has
directed all Nigerian Army officers to
do so. One wonders what the
faceless groups motive is and why
they are in a hurry to rubbish the
good name of the Chief Army Staff
and the Nigerian Army, when there
is a Presidential Panel already
working selflessly. Why is the group
trying to jump the gun. Let these
mischievous elements which Steven
Chilaka represents, allow the Panel
to discharge its duties
dispassionately as it is doing.

“It is advisable also that the faceless
group should get their facts right
and not just merely speculate or
disturb us with their wishful
thinking. They should further
understand that whatever
mischievous intentions they have
against the Chief of Army Staff and
indeed, the Nigerian Army, both
would not be deterred, we shall
remain focused and never to be
distracted. Consequently, the public
is please requested to disregard the
so called Movements evil
machinations which would surely fall
back on them.”

The army’s spokesperson stated that contrary to group’s mischief, Buratai was Director of Procurement at Defence Headquarters from March 2014 to May 2015, not from 2012 to 2015 as was said.
Typical, making allegations without facts.

So who was the director of procurement from 2012 to 2014?

Did embezzlement stop after 2014?

That is the question you should ask the accusers. People just sit in their sitting rooms and make up senseless lies all in the name of playing PDP brand of opposition.
