This idea doesn't make any sense.
If we must advert any future coup we must adopt the USA system, the leadership must be demilitarised.

The position of NSA isn't a war position it's a tactical and a very intelligent position, being a military person doesn't even make you more suitable to advice the president on issues of national security threat than a civilian who is a security expert.

Tinubu must redesign our military to be similar to the USA.

Pull military out of Abuja and raise DSS to become the highest security agency in the country.

For me the NSA should even be coming from DSS or NIA.

being a military general doesn't make you an expert in security matters, you need to see some of them speak

We have had military general as NSA back to back for over 10 years how has our security fared?

The military are trained for maximum force.

If I were the president I will reorganized the security council.

Each military unit will have a secretary which the military top chief reports to.

Have a NSA from a top intelligence unit.

Revamp DSS to focus on protection of the president and vvip personalities alone.

Reorganize police and turn the current police structure into state police.

Collapse the civil defense into state police.

Then established a federal intelligence agency which will be responsible for intelligence gathering and investigation of high profile cases, cyber crimes etc.

Unit custom and immigration into federal board guard.

Remove military completely from Abuja and the only people who should have access to the president should be civilians.


Revamp our laws to bar the military from having any dealings with any civilian and only to be used for maximum aggressive and force enemies.

How Top Military Officers Pressured President Tinubu To Drop Nuhu Ribadu As National Security Adviser

xristos:
To whose advantage??

lhordspy:
Ribadu, the security adviser to Tinubu will still be performing the same task & function as NSA(National Security Adviser). He will be operating from ONSA(Office of the National Security Adviser), and be over-seeing the structure of the entire security agencies as a whole, thereby advising the president accordingly on steps, approach, improvement and changes to make.

The only difference is that, the intelligence agencies ( NIA, DSS, DIA ) will be reporting directly to Tinubu now, instead of the NSA. Which means wont be having NSA.

President Tinubu, probably employ that modality and structural shift to avoid lack of respect or trust between the Military and Ribadu, a fmr. police officer. We all know there has been long standing power-tussles over functions & seniority between the Military and the police.

If you look at most of the SAs appointed well. You will realise they are strategist, capable and trusted fellows who can deliver. This will leave the ministerial positions to politicians. Politicians are corrupt and cant effect changes, they are only after their pocket and political status. But they must be compensated, that is politics. Tinubu knows this, so his best bet are on his Special advisers. Reason he is putting forward his best cards there.

Soldiers have a big ego, and I don't blame them, they are meant to sacrifice their lives for the country


When it comes to Internal security Nigerian Police trained some of the best officers that excelled everywhere during African Mission and Peace keeping

Ribadu as NSA would coordinate covet operations, and investigation to prevent security challenges, unlike soldiers who would work without proper intelligence

Mystiquefia:


how do u even allude to this whole tales when tinubu hasn't even scrapped the office of the NSA, Mongonu is still the serving NSA and hasn't been suspended, remember?

They probably don't understand why Tinubu is appointing SAs he trusts. Their suggestions is what the President would consider most when taking decisions.
