Buhari Media Support Group has reminded governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state how President Muhammadu Buhari has successfully changed the Nigerian army from being a channel for distributing political campaign funds to a more responsible body.
The Group, in a statement signed by the Acting Chairman, Austin Braimoh, and its Secretary, Chief Cassidy Madueke, dismissed claims by Governor Fayose that the current set of military is corrupt, mischievous and ill-motivated, arguing that the military, under its current leadership, is professional and far from corrupt.
The group insisted Buhari government had taken steps to the rid the military of corruption and change them from the past notorious image on human rights.
“Unlike the previous administration, where the military made the institution a vehicle for the channeling of funds to fund political campaigns and elections, of which Governor Fayose was a beneficiary, the Nigerian Military under Buhari has been reformed and refocused leading to unprecedented feats at the war front.”
The group said that the Nigerian Military is a longstanding symbol of Nigeria’s unity and this must not be toyed with by divisive and hate-brewing politicians.
The group lamented the under-reporting of the achievements of the Nigerian Military in the war against Boko Haram, and the unnecessary and unpatriotic prominence given to pockets of Boko Haram’s guerilla attacks on the media.
It called on the politicians and the media to be agents of unity and eschew comments that sow division in the country. [myad]
