A non-governmental group, Coalition for Good Governance and Security (CGGS) has hailed the performance of the Nigerian Armed Forces in the recently conducted gubernatorial elections in Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa.
The group, in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Ishaku Aliyu, on Monday, said the Nigerian military led by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Chris Gwabin Musa, deserved special commendation for its neutral posture during the polls.
The group said the AFN kept to its promise to remain neutral as made by the Defence Chief.
The National Coordinator of CGGS said that the noble role of the Armed Forces of Nigeria ensured the election was held with minimal security challenges.
The group lauded the Chief of Defence Staff’s unwavering commitment to deepening democracy in the country.
According to CGGS, “We are aware of the stern warning by the CDS that criminal tendencies during the election will not be condoned. We can say the AFN kept to its promise.
“Our investigation across the 3 states where the off-cycle election was conducted reveals that our military performed excellently well.
“Despite the attempt by some politicians to draw the military into what took place, we can give them credit for their neutrality.
“Once more, CGGS commends the CDS for this excellent outing.”
