General Buratai’s commitment to preserving democracy and upholding the rule of law is a crucial attribute. He emphasized the importance of the military remaining apolitical and fully supportive of the civilian government.
This commitment ensures a harmonious relationship between Tinubu’s administration and the armed forces, should General Buratai join the team.
