At least they should follow the law. It's an aberration to our constitution to appoint service chiefs by the Executive.

You're full of abrasive and aggravating thoughts. Instead of sticking to the message, you're more interested in his ego.

Better make something out of your life.

Babana, IBO man no fit get better appointment under General Buhari. He had an issue with the Igbo's when he was a senior Major/Lieutenant Colonel. The Igbo's should forget about appointments for now.
NORSYK:
It's quite shameful and unfortunate that boo.hari overlooked the gallantry of Major General Nicholas Rogers and Brigadier General Ignatius Nwogu because they are igbos.
With the combination of these Generals with General Rogers as Lafiya Dole commander while General Nwogu was commander 47 Engineer Brigade Maiduguri, they recorded the most success in the fight against Boko Haram to the extent the indigenes of Borno State were praising the Generals from Imo State.

The Igbo military officers should rethink their commitment to the Nigerian course since they aren't being rewarded.

Are you ok? Why do you talk carelessly like this? How can buhari sidestep maj gen attahiru and appoint his junior man gen Nicholas? After buratai,adeosun and irabor,attahiru is next in rank.nwogu is only a brigadier general not even a major general.think well before commenting publicly next time

Human Rights Lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has declared President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of new service chiefs as illegal and unconstitutional.

Buhari appointed new service chiefs on Tuesday following the resignation of the former officers.

But Falana, in a statement he personally signed on Wednesday, quoted a 2013 judgment which described such appointments without the concurrence of the National Assembly as illegal and unconstitutional.

For this reason, Falana said that Buhari only nominated the service chiefs and did not appoint them.

“Yesterday, President Buhari was reported to have appointed new service chiefs for the armed forces.

“Upon a critical review of the law on the subject matter the members of the Alliance on Surviving COVID-19 and Beyond (ASCAP) have found that the appointments remain inchoate as President Muhammadu Buhari has not forwarded the names of the proposed service chiefs to the National Assembly for approval in strict compliance with the relevant provisions of the Constitution and the Armed Forces Act.

“The appointments of service chiefs without the concurrence of the National Assembly which had been the practice since 1999 was challenged in the Federal High Court sometime in 2008 by Mr. Festus Keyamo SAN in the case of Keyamo v President Goodluck Jonathan (unreported Suit No FHC/ABJ/ CS/611/2008).

“In his landmark judgment delivered on July 2, 2013, Adamu Bello J. (as he then was) held that it was illegal and unconstitutional, null and void for the President to single-handedly appoint Service Chiefs without the approval of the National Assembly having regards to the combined effect of Section 218 of the Constitution and section 18 (1) & (3) of the Armed Forces Act..,” the statement read.

Falana pointed out that the Federal Government did not challenge any aspect of the judgment at the Court of Appeal having acknowledged it as sound and unimpeachable.

He explained that the judgment was binding on all authorities and persons in Nigeria in accordance with the provisions of section 287 of the Constitution.

The senior lawyer asked President Buhari to send the names he had selected to both chambers of the National Assembly for confirmation.

Buhari has received a lot of commendation from Nigerians for summoning up the courage to sack the former service chiefs who many Nigerians believed had lost the ideas to tackle insecurity in the country.

Notably, Olusegun Bamgbose, chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, had described the dismissal of the former security heads as the best decision taken by President Muhammadu Buhari in his five years in office.

The new service chiefs, are: Major-General Leo Irabor as Chief of Defence Staff; Air Vice Marshal Isiaka Oladayo Amao as Chief of Air Staff; Rear Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo as Chief of Naval Staff; and General Ibrahim Attahiru as Chief of Army Staff.

Meanwhile, Femi Adesina, the President’s Spokesman, said that his principal felt it was the best time to remove the service chiefs and appoint new ones.

According to Adesina, “the President knew the time to do it and I believe the time has come and that is why it has been done.”

He added that the service chiefs did not resign as a result of a number of security failures under their tenure.

What is the essence of appointing service chiefs this late hour?

Buhari hardly take advice from knowledgeable people.

He prefer his northern cabals and some few gullible southerners in his government.

Just barely less than three years to the close of this Buhari administration.

What can they achieve in defeating Boko Haram?

There was no need flogging the issue of removing service chiefs.

Allowing Buhari to do what is in his mind was the best since Buhari think he is the MR KNOW -IT - ALL

He has borrowed money left and right and now he is hunting for money inside people DORMANT ACCOUNT WITHOUT RESPECT FOR NEXT OF KIN THAT IS TIED TO THAT ACCOUNT.

The two position occupy by army as service chiefs (CDS and COAS) could not be given to those you mentioned in this time.
COAS always goes to the region of the president.
CDS is given as political goal.
APC is eyeing delta state in next election.
Remember, when CDS was given to ekiti, APC won the state.

North has the highest rate of Illiteracy in the World, how do they have more personels in Nigeria Military, if not for nepotism, thereby reducing the standard of excellence to accommodate mediocrity.
