He's one of them: corrupt and clueless. Turning Bello will defeat him.
He cannot dare the retired generrals who run banditry, kidnappings and land grabbing in katsina, zamfara and Niger.
He can't do a sh1t.
Our armies are overwhelmed.

The last time I checked, the word unavailability means something or somebody can not be seen or obtainable. Then the question is why? It baffles me why our public office holders would be so secretive about their well-being.

Maybe this COAS will end or ignore Boko Haram in the North
