THE Coalition of Northern Groups says it’s dragging the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to court over the continued retention of the nation’s service chiefs.

On assumption of office in 2015, the President appointed General Gabriel Olonishakin as Chief of Defence, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, Chief of Army Staff, Air Marshall Sadique Abubakar, Chief of Air Staff and Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas as Chief of Naval Staff.

There have been calls for their removal for non-performance, but spokesman for the President, Mr. Garba Shehu, had consistently argued that only Buhari could hire and fire the service chiefs.

However, the CNG disagreed, saying that the service chiefs have overstayed.

The coalition added that under them, the security situation in the North had worsened, hence the need for the court to compel Buhari to remove them (service chiefs).

The CNG argued that there were laws guiding the appointments of the service chiefs, which must be followed to evolve the system.

This, the northern organisation said, would be explored when they get to the court.

CNG’s spokesperson, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, stated these in an exclusive chat with The PUNCH in Kaduna.

Suleiman said, “The CNG is going to court because we believe it is now no longer a question of performance, but one of legality on whether the service chiefs, who have overstayed their years of service should not be compelled to comply with the laws guiding the prevailing scheme of service in the country.

“We would seek interpretation from the courts on the applicability of the law that says if a public servant attains 60 years of age, he must retire, or if he covers 35-years in service, he should go.

On moral grounds, CNG regrets that by any standard of judgement, President Muhammadu Buhari and his security chiefs as constituted today have failed the nation in the vital area of improving its security.

“We at the CNG have been consistent with our warnings that President Buhari lacked the will, his overstayed service chiefs lack the capacity, competence and commitment to lead Nigeria into a secure and prosperous future.

“It is shocking that in spite of unprecedented consensus among Nigerians that the administration requires a new resolve, approach and leadership in the fight against the nation’s multiple security challenges, President Buhari appears either totally isolated or in deep denial over the result of his service chiefs’ failures to secure Nigerians.”

Who are you deceiving

Which Buhari, if na the president of Nigeria dem just dey waste their time

That one nothing dey move am

They are waking up. I thought Buhari is a saviour and that any attack on Buhari is attack on the north. To be sincere, I don't really care about how bandits and boko haram are ravaging these people because they don't deserve any pity. How could a set of people be so blind to see the evil around them? I wonder how a common northerner think. Buhari should leave the service chiefs alone to continue their good work unabated. We are in full support of him. CNG is only on evil agenda to overthrow him.

Those service chief should be replaced asap esp that Buratai or whatever he calls himself. The man is just so shameless. Last year he said BH has been defeated technically. Recently, he said the Army will deal with them in 2021. How can you deal with the people you have defeated again??

interesting times indeed..

Long over due

Super Story... Dey want to deceive the South

I've come to learn that in Nigeria, you can't defeat the government. They can do whatever the hell they wanna do.
If you talk finish, you go keep quiet.
The only way those old men will hear word is through violence, which will cost lives on either sides, and trust me nobody wants to die.

They won't do shit. The president remains untouchable. It's in everyone's interest nothing happens to our darling president.

2021 don come, PMB still be the president.
Despite all they did last year

They will now later withdraw thier statement and apologize to him......we know as e dey be na

Chase in futility


Same northern group will go and pay another baseless northern group to stand against the move to sue Buhari and claim everything has been perfect under his watch....north una go suffer sha....time will come when every state will close their brothers to this backward head slamming people who kill in the of religion

When day break, you don't need anyone to wake you up. Babylon is falling.

By the time general Buhari is done with Nigeria, it will take years for Nigeria to recover.

What Nigerians don’t know is that; it’s not as if buhari has anything to offer Nigeria.

Buhari became president for 2 major reasons
1. To enjoy all the privileges that comes with President office to take care of his health, you can tell during his first regime how he junkets and spend months in uk on medical trip

2. To make sure that 85% resources control, decision making and power goes to northerners

He succeeded in the number 2.

THE PROBLEM WITH NORTH IS THAT THEY TAKE DEMOCRACY AND ELECTIONS AS PART OF ISLAM. . So ign0rant tribe

That rotten fish BBQ seller won't comment on thread like this.

Such a useless human being
