Lol

for the records am not a wailer..but shouldn't we think that the director of procurement is in one way aware of this..taking note of his rank..

This man will rule Nigeria one day..very discipline like Buhari. No shaken but keep educating those who don't know. Up Nigeria military

JuanDeDios:

I agree. Nothing wrong in probing Mr Buratai.

But buhari's sectional mindset won't allow the probe

olapluto:
I said this immediately I saw the news yesterday. Buratai is a very upright soldier. These wailers turn Ipob just come up with bogus lies everytime. 3 months suddenly turned 4 years to them.

I wonder ohhhh my brother.General Buratai was Commandant Nigerian Army School of Infantry from 2012-2014 ,how could he have been in the Defense Headquarters then?From what I heard about this General,anywhere he serves he turns the place around positively by embarking on reasonable projects.This General who introduced free lunch for his men in the School of Infantry out of the meagre resources available to him will NEVER steal money for arms.

[quote author=Haykay80 post=42310145]The Nigerian Army has issued a statement on alleged role of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai in the $2.1billion arms deal fraud.


PRESS RELEASE:SAVE THE NATION MOVEMENT A GROUP OF BLACKMAILERS AND MISCHIEF MAKERS

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. In a release signed by Steven Chilaka, its National Secretary on Sunday, they wanted the Chief of Army Staff to be included among those indicted in the ongoing probe of abuse of funds meant for the procurement of arms simply because he was the Director of Procurement at the Defence Headquarters (DHQ).

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.

Contrary to their mischief, it should be noted that General Buratai was Director of Procurement at Defence Headquarters from March 2014 to May 2015, not from 2012 to 2015 as they wished to mislead the public. 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.

Thank you.

In support click like

Was funds not disburse through him during that one year he was director of procurement in ahq?

SupaFemi:
E follow chop the yams abi

If to say e follow chop Dasuki for call am

This country is turning into something else. If you are in anyway dissatisfied with the government you are tagged an IPOB or a PDP apologist or you like corruption or metuh is your brother. Haba naija which way?

omogin:

But buhari's sectional mindset won't allow the probe

Well, I don't agree with you. What's sectional about probing Dasuki and Halilu but not Buratai?

Every other persons invited also said they had good names that should not be dented, yet, they confessed to the looting. So, who do we trust? Only un born child.

sapientia:
I feel like crying for the military i adore soooo much

The procurement being centralised means that the DHQ where the current COAS was Director of procurement are aware of all procurements made by any Service during the stipulated time.

The way they sounded... is anything wrong with a probe?

Unless they wish to tell us that once your name enters the list.. you are already guilty..

By the way.. i believe March 2014 to May 2015 was the period there much procurement of military hardware in Nigeria..

Infact. i believe more than 80 per cent of the money stolen was within that period.

Am not say my able COAS was corrupt or that he stole money.. no.. never

All am saying is this... THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IN PROBING BRUTAI

Please do go through and take note of the bolded.
It being decentralised means though he is director procurement at DHQ, army, navy and airforce have similar positions who execute at their end.

My take?, a good point from them but he should be probed still.

Buratai must be forced to wear his rightful wrist ornament- The handcuffs, since the period of probity also overlapped with his tenure even if it's for one day. It takes only 3 seconds to sign off billions as Director of Procurement. Buratashi you are a suspect. Where are the handcuffs and leg chains?

ISpiksDaTroof:
[s]It is amazing the amount of ignorance Nigerians exhibit. The more I look at it, the more I see that black people are not going forward anytime soon. If the most populous and most influential black nation on earth has this much amount of idiocy floating around--- ALL BECAUSE OF TRIBALISM--- then the black race is doomed unless they find leadership some place else.

The Army has defended its man and said with utmost confidence that he is not involved, yet look at he amount of posts wanting the man indicted just because of his tribal background forgetting that he his "kin" to Dasuki. I don't understand how a person claims they want progress but will do anything---and support any evil--- just to destroy their own country.

You guys are sick! [/s]

See lamentations!

eday everly good make breeze dey blow, make we dey see fawu nyash! na so god go expose them all, even Buhari get case to answer because I hear am say him receive bulletproof suv

I also feel say Army no be parrot, hence, the statement suppose be short and powerful, and not watery

NA is so unprofessional.! Why can't Buratai answer by himself....
Na is different from Buratai as former Director of Procurement.
it makes no sense for Army to be defending one of their staff even if he. is now COAS.
let Buratai face his own defence... Buratai is not Nigerian Army.... and the allegation is not about Nigeria Army but on Buratai..

You this rusted roof area zombies una no dey tire to defend the indefensible?

Come and meet me at the barracks and repeat the same thing

Come and meet me at the barracks and repeat the same thing

for where ur yeye barrack dey?

It is obvious that the allegations against the COAS are in his personal capacity. Hence, there's no need for the director of army information to speak for him.
Let Gen. Buratai submit himself to probe; only then can we be sure that he was not part of the looting of the arms money.

My dear thank you for your discerning mind.

OKDnigeria:
So ur only defense is dat u re not d director of procurement from 2012 but from 2014? how does that exonerate u? The allegation of mismanagement in the arms deal covers 2012 to 2015.
So if dis is d only defense u have, I suspect u...

Dasuku as the man in the center of the looting and sharing is yet to link him to the scandal so what is there to exonerate or not...?



You iPoDS really need to keep quiet sometimes..

Funny!!! Ironically u sounded sick

Firefire:
I know it will come...

March 2014 to May 2015 is also fine with us for the probe.


EFCC, please let the probe of General Buratai as Director of Military Procurement within the above mentioned period start, NOW!


No place for professional looters again, no scared cow.


Btw: Life na turn by turn, 'Oye to kan ara Iwo o ti kan ara Ede'.

Cc: lalasticlala, we must get our money back by probing all culprit.

Buratai should be first on that list

henryhemon:
What wailers do not know is that the person the wall in his behalf is behind this revelations. Gej tipped off PMB on the whole thing but some you will be here wailing and hanging yourself while he's a happy man and pmb's best friend. I don't make statements am not sure of.
