The Chief of Army Staff, Faruk Yahaya, has charged Soldiers to ensure they create an enabling and peaceful atmosphere for the conduct of free, fair and credible election.
Yahaya, who was represented by the Outgoing General Officer Commanding of the 8th Division Nigeria Army Sokoto, Uweim Bassey, made the call during a regimental farewell parade at the Giginya Army Barracks.
He urged troops to remain professional, law abiding and remain apolitical, before, during and after the conduct of the general election.
The Army Chief, however, appealed for support and cooperation to be accorded the new GOC, Godwin Mutkut, to ensure he succeeds in the fight against terrorists.
