The outspoken Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has on Thursday been warned by the Nigerian Army to stop politicising the army and its military operations.
The Army issued the warning via its official twitter handle, @HQNigerianArmy, and wrote; “Gov Ayodele Fayose should stop politicizing the military [and] military OPs, seek other avenues for your relevance. The Army today is not corrupt."
The Nigerian Army’s warning follows a statement credited to the Ekiti State governor on Wednesday, through his spokesman, Lere Olayinka, who had said that the United States “Country Report on Terrorism 2016 proves that the military was corrupt.
The statement credited to Fayose added; “This report by the US Government has further lent credence to earlier revelation by the Transparency International that despite President Muhammadu Buhari government’s anti-corruption fight, corruption in the military is weakening Nigeria’s efforts to battle Boko Haram.”
