A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Buba Galadima has commended the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Farouk Yahaya for maintaining neutrality and ensuring a safe environment during the general elections.
About 13:20 minutes into a video shared on YouTube by Arise News, Galadima commended security agencies for being apolitical during the elections. He disclosed that some former chiefs of army staff along with some governors met Lt. Gen. Yahaya and tried to make him rig the elections in their favour however he resisted them. He said Lt. Gen. Yahaya did not only refuse to give in to their demand but he also ensured security for the election to be conducted.
In Galadima’s words: “I commend the Inspector-General of Police for displaying neutrality, I am not saying absolutely because there would be bad eggs elsewhere but they have done marvellously well. I want to commend the military: the Air force, Navy and Army and particularly single out the Chief of Army Staff who stood his ground that despite push from his predecessors: former chiefs of army staff who were carrying some governors to his house and forcing him to change electoral fortunes of certain states, he resisted that one and he played a neutral role by providing security to this election”.
