Caleb Olubolade, a retired navy
captain and minister of police affairs under former president Goodluck
Jonathan, has endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term.
He was at the presidential villa
on Monday, in company with other retired military officers who endorsed the
president for another four years in office.
In all, there were 13 major
generals, eight air vice marshals, two rear admirals, 12 brigadier-generals,
nine air commodores, eight commodores and 17 former military administrators —
all retired.
They were led by former military
administrator of Lagos state, Buba Marwa, a retired brigadier-general who
currently heads the presidential advisory committee on the elimination of drug
abuse in the country.
Marwa said if Buhari had failed
in his duties, they would not have endorsed him.
He said: “As an officer and a
gentleman, his word is his bond. After winning the elections, he brought out
simple three-points programme – security, economy and fighting corruption. He
led the fight and is leading the fight by personal example. That is the height
of leadership. Do as as I do not as I say. He has demonstrated that.”
Asked if the endorsement was out
of fear, Marwa said: “Absolutely not.”
