Nigerian Air Force,NAF, is ready to support Independent National Electoral Commission with logistics for twenty-nineteen general elections.

Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar said this during his conference with NAF field commanders, saying the support to the commission would be in transportation of election materials across the country.

Abubakar said it would render such assistance if the commission requested for it, cautioning the officers not to be dragged into partisan politics as the general elections approached.

”I want to draw your attention to the 2019 election coming up; while we have the right to vote, be careful not to be drawn into politics,” he said.

He advised the commanders to remain focused on the discharge of constitutionally-assigned tasks of the Force.

“We must restrict ourselves to the discharge of our constitutionally assignment,” Abubakar said, and assured that NAF would continue to operate in lines with its mandate.

He said NAF would also continue to work towards ensuring that the sovereignty of Nigeria was not undermined by any group or individuals.

The conference was intended to provide channel of feedback from the various NAF units so as to further enhance its operational efficiency and service.
