In all Honesty the PDP presidential candidate never say ''disregard'' the presidential directive, he only pricked the conscience of the Military Hierarchy by asking them to check in the military act and see what is written their, if military have a part to play in a democratic process especially during voting. In other word unless and except there is a breakdown of law and order, with evidence showing such situation to be beyond the control of the Police only then can they be summon to stem the tide, once there is no such situation military have no part to play under a democratic setting.

Rule of law must prevail. Yes is terrible to snatch ballot box but you can't just shoot someone instantly; is unacceptable. This is democracy for crying out loud.
That's why I love US. You can decide to rob a bank in US. Even before undertaken that venture you must have known what your jail term will be if caught. No one will kill you. After the jail term you are free. But in Nigeria, anything can happen. This is a zoo actually.

You seem to have ignored the fact that the US has one of the highest incidence of murder in the world.

Rob a bank in the states with a gun and you would most likely be shot.

Believe me the order is just to put thugs in check.

That senseless order will kill an innocent person and cause serious mayhem in different polling boots!

This has absolutely nothing to do with political affiliations....ballot box snatching is a criminal offense but must be handled using our electoral laws and not brutalities(or ruthlessness) from a former general!

So what if a thug was about to steal a ballot box and some innocent and honest folks try to safeguard the boxes only for the army to show up and instead of asking questions,fire at will, killing the poor innocent people who were trying to protect their votes from being carted away by the real thugs!

Like someone once said,a bullet fired hardly knows its target!

you were not respectful to the military. They peoples' fathers, they have grown up kids who are professionals in many fields...but you said peoples' fathers are not matured enough right?

my comment is not about support for BUhari or not is about you being disrespectful to military men some who are older than your father

Do you know the difference between SOME and ALL?

What about the soldiers that have been killing people for stupid reasons? Don't you think they might abuse Buhari's order? Go and read my post again

I just hope you guys dont misuse it. I am beginning to have a rethink about PMBs order considering the abusive nature of some of these men. They are not matured enough for that order and will most likely misuse it against innocent people

It's not about abuse it its about killing innocent citizens who votes for pdpn intimidating voters from not voting at all....why do you think he appointed only his tribe fulani n Muslims as security chiefs in Nigeria...this is d time for them to carry out their jihad against Nigerians who have seen that voting him out is d only way to freedom

Why are they not commending the president for urging all Nigerians to vote for the candidate of their choice across all parties?

Did the president said they should shot pdp box snatchers?
Are they the only political party contesting this election?

The problem of our Nigeria today is 1999 constitution. How do u expect a police man to arrest a ballot box snatcher that is fully armed in order to take them to court.
If PDP has no intention of snatching ballot boxes, why are they making unnecessary noise as if the president was specific about any party in his directive.
I felt buhari is the only strong man to lead this country because he has the heart of a king

Buratai got this wrong. Inasmuch as I would not advice the military to disobey a constituted authority, they should understand that there is what is called "Rule of Engagement"
And the Rule of Engagement is ANY BALLOT BOX SNATCHER SHOULD BE DEALT WITH. So I think the Army fully understand what Rule Of Engagement is.

U are speaking too much grammar. Nigeria’s military serves Nigerians, bounded by a constitution, and not the president.

The electoral act has already stipulated the punishment to be meted out to ballot box snatchers.

In a democracy, is army suppose to be the one enforcing the law? We are not in military era ba! Buratai and his men better stay in their barracks and allow police do their job. Four years ago when Jonathan tried to deploy army for election I remember how much noise apc in opposition made then, insisting army has no role to play in policing election. What has changed four years down the line? APC is all just about hypocrisy and bigotry. What they once condemned is what you see them always do and try to justify...
