The Defence Headquarters has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as an embarrassment to the military institution.
The Defence Headquarters made the comment in a statement posted on its Facebook
page while reacting to a statement credited to the former President
that the General Elections were postponed to enable the President to use
the Service Chiefs for tenure extension in an electronic mail on
Monday.
The Defence authorities accused the former President of politicising serious national security and military issues.
It was said that while Obasanjo’s intentions remained unclear, his motives for making such utterances were less than noble.
The statement stressed that Obasanjo’s claims were false.
It was also said that it was rather
surprising that Obasanjo opted to ignore the assurances by the Defence
authorities in a statement that the military would continue to be
apolitical.
The military said that while it had the
desire to accord some respect to Obasanjo and his views, the statement
credited to him did not reflect the standard of discipline expected from
a former General of his status.
