A First Republic Aviation Minister, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi has said that the present administration committed treasonable offence by deploying the military during the general election.
Amaechi maintained that the military should have no part to play in elections and internal security in the country.
Amaechi, a foremost nationalist, also noted that President Muhammadu Buhari would not have stepped down had he lost the election to Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party.
He told Vanguard that the military would have backed Buhari to sit tight in power.
The elder statesman said, “The present dictatorship in the country wants to have the control of the government of those [oil producing]states after taking over the management of the oil and gas in those states.
“From what I saw, there was no election in some places; and two, before the election, any sensible man should have known what will be the result.
