The major negative impact of military intervention in Nigerian politics is the politicization of the military. This means that military personnel, who are supposed to be apolitical and neutral in political matters, are drawn into political activities, leading to the erosion of professionalism and discipline within the military. This, in turn, leads to the use of the military to suppress dissent and opposition, resulting in human rights violations and abuse of power. Additionally, military intervention often leads to the disruption of democratic processes and institutions, as well as the misallocation of resources towards military expenditures, thereby hampering national development.
