Buratai described the publication as false, fabricated, and malicious, insisting that he never made such comments.
In a statement, the former Nigerian Ambassador to the Republic of Benin faulted the credibility of the report, noting that it failed to specify where or when he allegedly made the remarks attributed to him.
“The publication claiming that I commended the opposition coalition and said President Tinubu failed to meet expectations is completely false, fabricated, and malicious,” Buratai said.
He challenged those behind the report to provide proof of the alleged statement, maintaining that no such evidence exists.
“Nowhere in the report did the authors state where or when I allegedly made such comments. I challenge them to provide any evidence, because none exists. This is a deliberate hatchet job,” he stated.
Buratai also reaffirmed his commitment to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and reiterated his support for the Tinubu administration.
“Let me be clear: I remain a loyal, card-carrying member of the APC. I remain fully supportive of this government, as my calling and conscience demand,” he said.
The retired military officer added that his decades of service in the armed forces shaped his loyalty to constituted authority.
“For over 40 years, I wore the uniform of loyalty to constituted authority, and that loyalty remains with me in retirement,” he added.
Buratai further pledged his continued backing for President Tinubu, particularly in efforts to tackle insecurity and insurgency across the country.
“I will continue to support constituted authority under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, especially as the military intensifies its counterinsurgency efforts to bring total security to the nation,” he said.
He accused the publishers of the report of attempting to damage his reputation, describing them as habitual spreaders of falsehood.
“Those behind this wicked and reckless publication are serial peddlers of falsehood. They have tried before to tarnish my image and pull me down. And just as they failed in the past, they will fail again miserably,” Buratai stated.
He also urged Nigerians to ignore the report, describing it as the work of individuals driven by bias and hostility.
“To the promoters of this vile agenda: Allah Ya fiku. Your efforts will come to nothing,” he declared.
