said that Muhammadu Buhari-led administration will ensure better and

armed forces to be faithfully committed to its professional roles
rather than being exposed to undue partisanship.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Director of Media and
Publicity of the APCPCO, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Friday.
It said the opposition party was pleased by the assurance by the
Defence Spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Christopher Olukolade, that the armed
forces would stick to their constitutional and professional roles of
protecting the territorial integrity of Nigeria rather than being
diverted in this mission to partisanship.
According to the statement, the army's reassurance could not have come
at a better time, adding that a politically neutral armed force is a
prerequisite for free and fair elections.
Shehu said the APC presidential campaign holds Nigeria's armed forces
in the highest esteem, and that as long as they and other security
services stick to their professional roles, they might retain public
respect like every other armed forces around the world.
"The Muhammadu Buhari Presidency would be committed to improving the
welfare of the armed forces more effectively in discharging their
professional and constitutional duties," the statement added.
