The former Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai (rtd) who is also the Nigeria’s Ambassador to Republic of Benin has dissociated himself from calls and dissemination of campaign posters calling on him to join partisan politics and contest for Presidential candidature of one of the political parties by some persons.
In a statement, Buratai said that it was essential to state that he had never indicated interest, discussed with, or directed anyone on such matters.
He therefore said such calls and posters should be discountenance as they did not emanate from him, nor is he interested in them, emphasizing that it is entirely the handiwork of some people for reasons best known to them.
Buratai reiterated his contentment and commitment to national service in his present capacity as Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Benin Republic and promised to remain loyal and eternally grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari for the opportunity to serve.
