Take a note of this statement: “I want to humbly express my profound gratitude to Mr.

President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, for his continued and invaluable support to the Nigerian Army in the discharge of its constitutional roles. Therefore, I wish to pledge the commitment and unalloyed loyalty of officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army to the President and the defence of our democracy”. Compared to this: “We are unique among militaries.

The immediate question then is, does he feel personally obliged to President Buhari, or would he hold the same stance regardless of who the Commander-in-Chief is? This is not the first time Buratai has come out for President Buhari with guns blazing. This column has found cause to chastise him on that before. .

That said, on the one side in Nigeria are those protesting police brutality and calling for fundamental change in the overall structure of governance, and on the other are those desirous of preserving the status quo. Buratai has sought to place the military firmly on the side of the latter, drawing the institution close to the realm of partisan politics.
