Revealed: Jonathan jumped 31 Generals to pick Minimah as new Chief of Army Staff

To appoint Maj-Gen. Kenneth Tobiah Jacob Minimah as chief of army staff, President Goodluck Jonathan had to skip 31 generals who are his seniors in the Nigerian Army, LEADERSHIP Weekend reported this morning. The paper said that “of these generals, 15 would be retired soon while 16 may be left to work with the new army boss.”

Continuing, the report said: “Since the sack of the service chiefs and the immediate appointment of the new ones by President Jonathan during the week, there has been panic in the country’s barracks, as the superiors of the new service chiefs fear that the retirement to be engendered by the development could affect them. Those who have cases against the new service chiefs are hoping to get redress at the National Assembly when they would be screened.

“Special adviser on media and information Dr Reuben Abati had said the president ‘in the exercise of the powers conferred on him by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria’ approved the following changes in the nation’s military high command: Air Marshal Alex Badeh takes over from Admiral Ola Sa’ad Ibrahim as chief of defence staff; Maj-Gen. Kenneth Tobiah Jacob Minimah takes over from Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika as chief of army staff; Rear Admiral Usman Jibrin takes over from Vice Admiral Dele Joseph Ezeoba as chief of naval staff; and Air Vice Marshal Adesola Nunayon Amosu takes over from Air Marshal Badeh as chief of air staff.

“There was a conflict in the statement issued by Abati. He stated that ‘all the changes are with immediate effect’ and that the president would soon seek the approval of the National Assembly as mandated by the constitution.

“Since the announcement of what a top security person described as a tsunami, an uneasy calm has pervaded in most military formations and embassies abroad, since one aftermath of the re-organisation should include mass retirement of top officers who, according to the tradition of the military, would not be able to fit into the new system because of their years of service.

“ ‘President Jonathan as the commander-in-chief has the constitutional right to appoint whoever he wants as the service chiefs since the offices have become political, but courtesy calls for caution in considering who becomes what because of the implication on the military, especially the very senior officers who may be asked to go on voluntary retirement,’ a security top brass said. ‘One of the implications of appointing Maj-Gen. Minimah (a Regular Course 25 member of the Nigerian Defence Academy) as the chief of army staff is that all those who are his seniors, like Course 24, 23 or 22, are going. This is the tradition. The same thing would happen in the Air Force. In the Navy, those who are members of Regular courses above the new chief would go. This is why it is dangerous to allow the service chiefs to stay beyond the terms and conditions of service which stipulates 56 years of age and 35 years in service.’

“The source further explained that, with the imminent mass retirement, ‘all the services would be forced to overhaul the recent appointments made by the outgoing service chiefs because the new helmsmen would like to bring on board officers that they believe would give them absolute support’.

“Another military officer who noted that the appointment of General Minimah did not go down well with some forces in the north which lost out and that they would shift the battlefield to the National Assembly.

“ ‘The appointment of Minimah is an ill-wind that blows into the face of the military. We have been crying out that the agenda of Jonathan is to name his kinsman the chief of army staff right from his days in Lagos Command but they said we were alarmists; now the hen has come home to roost. There are so many officers who are superior to Minimah; now what becomes of them?

“ ‘One good thing is the appointments made by Jonathan are subject to the approval of the National Assembly. Let them (the lawmakers) ask him to explain why Minimah should be the COAS when there are very senior officers above him,’ he said.”

Read for your self and stop telling people to shut up on issue you do not know about...

This is one thing about Buhari supporters, the believe that drives they is so strong that despite all the effort to sabotage the government performance, people still believe in him..

Very negotiable, if the south East still vote for PDP which id fielding a Hausa/Fulani candidate for President, it will be difficult for south east to make a case, as the PDP man voted in will definitely wants to run for 8years, But Buhari has no stake in 2023 and if the region vote in Buhari, then it is non -negotiable to give the south east the 2023 slot..

Another distraction from unscrupulous elements. to make it look like the man has not being compromised, and make it feel he is the Fall guy among the lot.. No matter how hard they try to convince people, it is obvious that Daura has been compromised long before now.

This is why, if someone look into this episode of lifeless president keenly it looks fishy and obviously conjured somewhere in Nigeria by elements who wants to desperate soil the Name of Buhari. as they did in 2015, yet he still won the Presidential Election..

This is a very good work by the federal Government in making sure that movement to and fro Lagos through Ibadan is easy by Rail...the Rail service in Nigeria is dying untill this government came in and revive it, without being sentimental the last administration lay the foundation for the return of rail, but with over $350b revenue, they have no excuse not to have finish the projects..

I remember vividly how General Wahab and co where force to retire from the military so as to facilitate the Appointment of General Minimah a more junior officer as Chief of Army staff.. That is why i tell people that the same thing happened during GEJ administration, it will interest us to know that during GEJ apart from IGP , No Hausa/Fulani was an appointee on security matter.

How i wish voters are only on social media, the APC will be scared, but right now with programme like N-power, Conditional cash transfer, School homegrown feeding programme, Market moni, Trader moni, MSMEs Clinics, all have touch the common man, touch the grassroots and this are the core base of voters. surely the APC is on course..

Lets wait and see, but if any Governor has touched the Grassroots he has nothing to be afraid of when it comes to direct Primaries , and the APC brought this idea of direct primaries so that everybody can be carry along in terms of electoral participation and involvement in governance.

I do not know the benefit in dragging Buhari Name out unnecessary by elements of the opposition. I know for sure that the US is the most difficult Country to get such information from their Presidency and its Aids. Moreover President Buhari was invited to finalize talks on the purchase of the Super tucano jets and it was a win win situation for both President, As the United state sold weapon for Nigeria for the first time.

investors keep coming into the country to build manufacturing company, yet some haters will never see any good coming out of the government, simply because the head of the government is from the North,

Whoever believe this information that Buhari personally replied Trump. is part of Nigeria Problem..

Dragging the President into all this shenanigans will not help the opposition PDP into getting sympathetic votes in 2019..

President Muhammadu Buhari was just try to point to the fact that in some situation of National security, the rule of law may not be adhere to, Hypothetically, If a suspect of Boko Haram is arrested, nobody is expecting the authorities to release him in 24hrs since no evidence as the law stipulated. but authorities will have to carry out investigation.

Very fake news, just to make people feel Kingsley moghalu is a threat to the current President, I know for sure that, the main voters in Nigeria, do not even know Moghalu , Few Educated people are pushing his candidacy..forgetting that those Educated in Nigeria d not vote, But the Semi literate, and illiterate are the ones that vote..

Exactly Mr Vice President is very correct on this one, How can Past administration from the first gulf war, till now mismanage huge sum of money to the tone of $982. Billion

Very funny at glance, but when reading it, one will know understand that Ortom has always been a PDP member and he only jump to the platform of APC to win Election. but the APC is ready to take it back from PDP in the state..

Evidently 2019 is a goal for Apc in Delta state, with Uduaghan Joining force with Ogboru and Ayiri in APC , 2019 is a really a defining moment for APC to encroach into the mainstream of the South South..For the first time Buhari chances of getting 25% in Delta state and Akwa Ibom is bright

Yet, Angela Merkel and Theresa May are about to visit the lifeless President for bilateral talks.. abeg someone else should bring another means of degrading the personality of the President, yet he is still waxing strong in popularity

Udom Emmanuel has successfully destroy PDP in Akwa Ibom, Akpabio is a politician that know the game to the core, from the top to the grassroots and this is what Udom Emmanuel refuse to see..2019 IS NOT FAR FROM US ALL..

You did not hold church crusade against looters and evil doers, is the President that is trying to fight corruption that they are holding crusade against. Bunch of jokers..

PDP can never win election by dragging Buhari Name into comic things that are false...

Some Persons will still come out and say that the President has not done anything, despite glaring evidence on several project Nationwide,, Even Atiku constituency is getting an uplift in Road construction, to prove that the government is inclusive in Dividend of governance.

I will not be surprised if Atiku jump ship again, His ultimate interest is to be President and not that he has the interest of Nigerians, but for whatever reason, Atiku wants to be President by any means possible..

No matter the slander on the personality of Akpabio, because he moved to the ruling party, the fact remains that Akwa ibom is what it is today because of the uncommon leadership quality exhibited by GOODSWILL AKPABIO. in fact to some persons Akwa ibom and Akpabio are not differentiated ..

the venue for the National primaries is not going to be an issue, as the APC held its national convention in Abuja, and they will still hold the primaries in Abuja, no need to build a mountain out of nothing..

National interest supersedes individual interest, very true, but to selfish interest people like Saraki, selfish interest comes first, above group interest, talk more of National interest.

This present Senate leadership is the most corrupt and confused senate ever, largely contributed by its Senate President style of leadership...

I dont know why some persons will not read before rushing into comment. Maybe Hatred for Buhari, But the fact is that most of the Projects listed have either been abandoned by previous government or have been ongoing long before Buhari came into power..

the list is actually road construction started by Buhari and the ones started by other administration which Buhari has continue..

So because uhuru Kenyetta is visiting USA, Propagandist have change the whole narrative, just to soiled the name of President Buhari,, PDP will not win election with all this sponsored falsehood, Rather they should come out with facts to campaign...

Saraki the overzealous one, Saraki selfish interest, is too strong for him to win the Presidential election, Nigeria is not kwara!!!

This is why i wonder, where some persons actually get their information from.. Some persons even alleged that it was Buhari that sent the proposed Budget to the House, and i ask myself if Executive can draft INEC Budget? Obviously the Answer is no, INEC is independent when it comes to funding...
