“Just as the United States Army veteran Gen Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. said – “It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle”, and so for his gallantry, Professionalism and effective leadership in leading troops into battle and holding troops in the various theatres of operation amidst glaring inadequacies and deprivations, and yet drastically eliminate terrorists, armed bandits among other contemporary Security challenges – Gen Buratai clearly deserves this award in all objective standards of human judgement” – said the Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Mr Abraham Sule Awodi.
Similarly, as Gen Schwarzkopf said “When placed in command, take charge” – Gen. Buratai is no doubt in command/charge of the Nigerian Army resulting in the stability of the force and our country’s democracy. For a Gen with these sterling qualities in developing nation like ours, he indeed merit this kind of award and many more, – the magazine said.
