Buratai, who spoke with State House correspondents after the meeting said he met with the President to brief him on the operations the Army is involved in.

He said, “I visited the Commander-in-Chief to update him on the security situation that the Army is involved: defending the territorial integrity of the country, the welfare of the troops and the state of our general administration.

“The President is happy with the Nigerian Army and the military. We will continue to do our work to defend the constitution of this country and we assured him of our absolute loyalty and ensure we discharge our constitutional responsibility.”
