“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.


Secondly regarding nepotism, I guess you don't know it's classified globally as corruption.
The North is the Illiteracy capital of the earth, on what grounds are they having majority appointments as Service Chiefs?

Sorry sir,that is what section 218 states.the judge was wrong.the appointment of service chiefs has nothing to do with nass.it has never been so in Nigerian history.moreover,the constitution is superior to other laws and judgments of any judge.buhari is in order..
Secondly,the northerners do not dominate the service chief hierarchy.there are 4 service chiefs,two south,two north.it is well balanced.so stop wailing

I could easily read and not reply, or... Continue argument. But the essence of debate for a scholar is to learn.

Thanks for adding to my knowledge.
