Buratai stated this yesterday at the Army Headquarters, in Abuja, during a meeting with Principal Staff Officers (PSOs), General Officers Commanding (GOCs) and Directors.
FEC support for the President was disclosed by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed after the FEC meeting, presided over by the President in Abuja.
Mohammed, who addressed journalists at the end of the meeting, said the FEC supported the President.
Asked whether the Council supported Buhari’s directive to the security agencies to shoot ballot box snatchers, Mohammed said “Absolutely. I mean if you want to intimidate voters to steal the mandate of the people, you should be able to face the wrath of the law.”
According to Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Yusuf Buratai “The unity of Nigeria is not negotiable, hence those who seek to undermine our democracy by interfering in our electoral process must be seen as enemies of Nigeria and dealt with appropriately.
