The Defence Headquarters has frowned at the habit of wearing military uniforms and accoutrements for electioneering campaign posters by some politicians.
It said campaign posters of some governors dressed in military
camouflage uniforms are displayed in noticeable areas in their respective
states.
The Defence Headquarters stance was contained in a statement signed
by Acting Director Defence Information, Air Commodore Wap Maigida.
It said it is necessary to restate that the Armed Forces of Nigeria, as a
professional institution, remains apolitical and, as such, would not want
to be dragged into any form of political bias.
