Buratai To Generals: Coup Won't Be Tolerated. Don't Listen To Politicians by hisexcellency34(op): 6:03am On Dec 05, 2020
Don't Listen To Politicians Approaching You To Plan Coup, Buratai Tells Generals

CHIEF of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has warned generals against coup, vowing that the Nigerian Army will never tolerate any agent of destabilization bent on scuttling the current democratic dispensation.

Buratai, who spoke, yesterday, while the Nigerian Army decorated 39 newly promoted Major Generals, said he was aware that some generals were being approached and his eyes are on them.

“Democracy has come to stay. We will not tolerate any agent of destabilization. The years of military misadventure in politics have never carried us anywhere. It is over,” he said.

Disclosing that the Army hierarchy was aware of some interests making efforts to interact with certain personnel, General Buratai expressed confidence in the discipline and loyalty of the newly decorated officers.

He charged the new generals: “Do not hobnob with politicians. At this rank of two star generals, do not lobby for appointment. If you want to lobby for appointment, lobby the Chief of Army Staff and you can only do this through hard work, discipline and loyalty.

“The crop of officers (39 Major Generals) decorated yesterday will never be dragged into any interest that is contrary to the sustenance of democracy in our nation.

“All our eyes are on you. We know there are several moves to get your attention. You must make sure that whatever you are doing, and when some persons approach you, you must act within the confines of the constitution.”

On the security challenges plaguing the nation for which the polity has been awash with calls on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the service chiefs, Gen Buratai said: “I am glad that we held the Spiritual Warfare Seminar on Wednesday and most of the decorated generals today are graduates of the Spiritual Warfare Seminar.

“I must say that the Spiritual Warfare Seminar we had last time, helped us during the last #EndSARS protest to the extent that there was no single corpse, but some persons were seeing double at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos State.”

That's why Buhari will never replace the Service Chiefs no matter what Nigerians say. They will remain there till 2023

Fear of the inevitable is already setting in. For the Chief of Army Staff to be afraid of a coup, it means that he knows that the present regime isn't performing and a lot of Nigerians are angry. It may not be a coup but a revolution, the build up is slow but when it stretches beyond its elastic limit, it will be very bloody for all of them that have tasted power and there will be no Oluomo rock to protect them when it is happening.

Equating this COAS’s brain to a cadet brain is a big insult to all cadets and I think they’ll demand an apology from you for this reckless statement.

Buratai is simply trying hard to pacify his men while protecting his position. Buratai is the one ruling Nigeria in proxy.

Re: Buratai To Generals: Coup Won't Be Tolerated. Don't Listen To Politicians by SmartPolician:
Buratai knows he will be the first victim of any coup d'etat because his incompetence stinks to high heavens

I just think that the soldiers we have these days are mostly cowards; people who joined the military because they couldn't get the kinda job they wanted. They are everywhere, even in the police.

If Nigeria was what it used to be, a junta would have written to the daft oldie in Aso Rock, asking him to step down in peace or pieces after taking out fantastically corrupt Buratai and other service chiefs.
