Some retired senior military officers

A former Chief of Army Staff , Gen. Alani
Akinrinade (retd.) condemned the military authorities over the comments. Akinrinade said Obasanjo was exercising
his political rights, adding that it was absurd for a junior officer to
say anything against his superiors.
Also, a former Director of Army Legal
Services, Col. Akin Kejawa (retd.), described the comments against
Obasanjo as being the product of “the indiscipline that the military has
degenerated into.”
Kejawa, cautioned the military
authorities, saying the reaction betrayed the tenets of respect and
discipline that the army was noted for. According to him, the comments made mockery of the army.
