The statement read:  ” The attention of Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, retd, Nigeria’s Ambassador to Republic of Benin and former Chief of Army Staff, has been drawn to calls and dissemination of campaign posters calling on him to join partisan politics and contest as the presidential candidate of one of the political parties by some persons.

“However, it is essential to state that the ambassador has never indicated interest, discussed with, or directed anyone on such matter.

‘Therefore, such calls and posters should be  discountenance as they did not emanate from him, nor is he interested in them. It is entirely the handiwork of some people for reasons best known to them.

“The ambassador wishes to reiterate his contentment and commitment to national service in his present capacity as Nigeria’s ambassador to Benin Republic.”

“He remains loyal and eternally grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari for the opportunity to serve.

“He, however, wishes to thank all well-meaning persons, friends and well-wishers who showed concern over this development “
