Army Deploys 95 Percent Soldiers For 2019 General Elections by nwakibie3(m): 4:25pm On Feb 07, 2019 |
The Nigerian Army on Thursday said 95 percent of its troops would be engaged in security duties during the forthcoming general elections. It added almost 40 percent of the troops to be deployed would be in the Northeast. Its Spokesman Brig. Gen. Sani Usman said in a statement that it was not true that the troops were being paid some allowances in other to sway their votes for a particular party as being alleged in the social media. Brig Gen Usman said: “The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to some insinuations on various social media platforms that the recent payment of uniform allowance to officers and soldiers was done to sway their voting towards a particular political party. This is not true. “The payment of uniform allowance was started in 2016 to assist troops deployed on Operation LAFIYA DOLE as uniform upkeep and maintenance. “The allowance was however extended to all Nigerian Army personnel because of their increasing engagement in various Internal Security Operations across the country. “It is important to note that 95 per cent of Nigerian Army troops will be engaged in security duties during the forthcoming general elections. “Out of this, almost 40 per cent are in the North East. Therefore, it is gross unfair and sheer mischief to associate the Nigerian Army with such mundane action. “We therefore implore all well- meaning Nigerians to dissociate themselves from such fake and unwarranted information calculated to smear the Nigerian Army. “Although investigation is ongoing to ascertain the source of such malicious allegations, we would like to warn such unpatriotic individuals to stop this mischief forthwith. ” We would like to further warn all officers and soldiers to desist from acts that are inimical to Service discipline and code of conduct and reiterate the Chief of Army Staff’s warning during his conference with General Officers Commanding and Operations Commanders that, “All Nigerian Army personnel must remain neutral, non-partisan and transparent in all their actions. “I need to reiterate that there will be zero-tolerance for any action and in-action by commanders at all levels that is deemed tilted towards giving undue advantage to any candidate, political party, ethnic or religious leanings to the detriment of the unity and integrity of Nigeria. “The Nigerian Army has always been professional, impartial and apolitical. We wish to state that no amount of campaign of calumny against it would change that”. http://thenationonlineng.net/army-deploy-95-percent-troops-for-polls/ 4 Likes

Of all the presidential contestants Buhari is the weakest healthwise, worst education and grossly demented. Those saying "sai baba" are those reaping from the gaping wounds Buhari's cluelessness, old age and compound ignorance create. They don't care if Nigeria collapses. Don't destroy Nigeria because of greed. Posterity will not forgive you.Show me the asset declaration of 2015 showing that Buhari had N2.5billion naira which his wife Aisha had claimed that her Adc has stolen. All we knew was that Buhari has 150 cows, a brick house and a mud house. Yet there are no calls for Buhari to resign and Buhari is still fighting corruption. * Show me the asset declaration that Buhari had previously owned keystone bank and 9Mobile in 2015. All we knew was that Buhari has 150 cows, a brick house and a mud house. Yet there are no calls for Buhari to resign and Buhari says he is fighting corruption. 113 Likes 15 Shares |

Buhari is on his way out. We the people can't continue with him. If he insists on remaining President against the will of Nigerians, first of all we would form a parallel government. Whatever he gets then is his business.. 28 Likes 3 Shares |

In saner climes, the Army belongs to the barracks. They have nothing to do with civilian election process. But don't be surprised when these people will be at the forefront of ballot snatching, since APc has dastardized the armed forces of Nigeria 9 Likes 1 Share |
