"Fayose seek other avenues for your relevance"- Army

The Army issued the warning via its official twitter handle, @HQNigerianArmy.

The Nigerian Army has issued a warning to the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, to stop politicising the military and military operations.

“Gov Ayodele Fayose should stop politicizing the military [and] military OPs, seek other avenues for your relevance. The Army today is not corrupt.

The Army’s warning follows a statement credited to the Ekiti State governor on Wednesday.

Fayose, through his spokesman, Lere Olayinka had said the United States “Country Report on Terrorism 2016 proves that the military was corrupt.

“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,” the governor had said through his spokesman.

Gov Ayodele Fayose should stop politicizing the military&military OPs, seek other avenues for your relevance. The Army today is not corrupt.
