Non-partisan-CDS
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin
represented by the Chief of Defence Civil-Military Affairs, Rear
Admiral Peter Onaji has re-emphasized the apolitical and non
partisanship of the Armed Forces of Nigeria in the ongoing
electoral process.
This was contained in a Goodwill message delivered on Tuesday 5
March 2019 to the National Orientation Agency (NOA) at the Workshop
with the theme “National Dialogue on the Challenges of Vote
Buying”.
He averred that the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) will remain
professional in the defence of the territorial integrity of Nigeria
and act in aid of civil authority when called upon to do so, as
enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria (Amended).
The CDS added that the AFN is committed to ensuring that the
nation enjoys a peaceful and stable security atmosphere to enable
all citizens’ exercise their constitutional rights by performing
their civic obligation during the ongoing elections.
The CDS also commended NOA for the laudable initiative.
