The former chief of Army staff, Generl Tukur Buratai has asked the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike to apologize to the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, Bola Tinubu, the Armed forces and the officer Wike repeatedly called a fool in a viral Video.
In a statement on his Facebook page, General Buratai said Nyesom Wike’s “public disparagement of a uniformed officer of the Nigerian Armed Forces transcends mere misconduct; it represents a palpable threat to national security and institutional integrity.
The statement titled “Urgent Action Required as Minister Wike’s Conduct poses a clear Threat to National Security” reads:
“The events of November 11, 2025, involving the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Nyesom Wike, demand an immediate and serious response. His public disparagement of a uniformed officer of the Nigerian Armed Forces transcends mere misconduct; it represents a palpable threat to national security and institutional integrity.
“A minister’s verbal assault on a military officer in uniform is an act of profound indiscipline that strikes at the core of our nation’s command and control structure. It deliberately undermines the chain of command, disrespects the authority of the Commander-in-Chief, and grievously wounds the morale of every individual who serves under the Nigerian flag. Such actions erode the very foundation of discipline upon which our national security apparatus stands.
“This cannot be dismissed as political theatre. It is a reckless endangerment of national order. This action by Wike is clearly an indication of undermining the federal government’s authority.
“Consequently, Barrister Nyesom Wike must tender an immediate and unequivocal public apology to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Commander-in-Chief, the entire Armed Forces of Nigeria, and the specific officer whose honour was violated.
“Our nation’s security must come first. It is time for decisive action, not politics of military bashing. The integrity of our Armed Forces demands nothing less” he said

I don’t know where that Wike of a tout got those powers from, kudos to the crack officer who stood his ground. The military should not let this insult be swept under the carpet pls.
