This is a very dangerous precedence with very grave consequences for our democracy. Some of which include:
1,Most of the GOCs and Commandants in states where the PDP won at the last general election were affected. Eg,82Division Enugu. This is thus a subtle threat to the remaining and new GOCs and the implication is that at the 2019 elections,no GOC would want to lose his position and would thus ensure that they 'deliver',regardless of the voters' desire.
2,Recently,a new IG of police was announced. A man who was still a commissioner of police as at february 2015 but because he aided(by allowing) the mass underaged voting and rigging in Kano that gave Buhari an unprecedented advantage over Jonathan,the first 'reward' on assumption of office by Buhari was to promote him to an AIG and barely a year later made him the IG over 13 senior officers. What many don't know is that by 2019,most CPs and AIGs of states and zones would do all within their power to gain such rewards too. We may see some states declaring absurd results with the collusion of the police. And once again,at the detriment of the people's choice.
3,This action of the president is already brewing discontent across ethnic divides within the military. And those with good knowledge of history will remember that this particular ethnic victimisation was a major remote cause of the Nigerian civil war. Infact,an ethno based mutiny caused by selective ethnic victimisation was alleged to have almost taken place in 82division of the Nigerian army early this year.
4,Why should an administration punish military officers who carried out their constitutional duties in the previous administration. Is it now a crime that warrants compulsory retirement to serve or be related to anyone that served in a previous government? In the past,they are usually assigned to other responsibilities. We indeed have a very vindictive president.


Now President Buhari has serially, deceitfully and masterfully completed the configuration of the entire National Security structure/architecure firmly in the hands of the Northern Muslim Hausa-Fulani alone to the exclusion of all other ethnic blocs in Nigeria .... this is very, very dangerous for the South and for Northern Christians.

Police IG ........... Northern Muslim Hausa-Fulani

ADD TO THESE:

3. Head, Federal Courts of Appeal ...... Northern Muslim Hausa-Fulani


Sadly,when most southern christians were informed of this man's track record of tribal bigotry and his clandestine motive ,they argued that he can not do that in a present day modern Nigeria. Now before their very eyes,in that 'present day modern Nigeria',he's doing it and they have all gone silent. I vividly remember that the Imo state governor,Rochas Okorocha boldly stated that Buhari can not dare play ethno-religious sentiments with men like him(Rochas) in APC. Today, they have all gone silent in the face of this tribal wickedness. The south west who gave him their total support because of pre modal tribal interests shamefully prefer to pretend as if they don't notice anything wrong with this arrangement and development.

Never in the history of modern Nigeria has this nation be so divided along tribal and regional lines caused by the actions and statements of a tribally bigoted president. His actions have stirred a 'winner takes all' mentality across various regions. Already,the south south seeing the impunity with which this president is brazenly going about his lopsided appointments have started heaping blames on ex-president Goodluck Jonathan for being 'too fair and equitable' in the distribution of appointments and resources.
With this trend,we all can be rest assured that tribe and religion will be the major (if not only)determining factor in subsequent elections. Merit and ability will be cast aside for tribal gains. While the incumbent tribe will fight tooth and nail to maintain their hold,other aggrieved tribes will stop at nothing to control the power.
We can only hope that it will not further tear the nation apart nor lead to total breakdown of law and order. All because of a president who is unapologetically and shamelessly tribalistic.

Deal with it. As much as I sympathise with our situation, sometimes, when I remember how we rejected Ojukwu's candidacy, I think the current disposition serves us right.

Hmm. Wahala dey dis country o.

Because our geopolitical divisions are so marred Bukola Saraki is a northerner. Meanwhile the service chiefs include A CDS, CAS, COAS, CNS, CDI, and NSA....
