I don't agree with the author. I think the northerners are the most suitable people for the job. In addition, he need someone he can trust for such a sensitive job and not a mere southerner who are not trustworthy. *Sarcarsm ![]() In all seriousness, I genuinely hope they would serve the country in fairness and with dignity. 61 Likes 1 Share |

He ignored the entire senior cadre of the agency simply because they are Southerners mostly, from Bassey Eteng to the least, even if he wanted to pick a Northerner he should have picked from the service rather than a 62 year old retiree whose only qualification is him being Buhari's kinsman who was in the SSS, When Jonathan appointed Ekpenyong he was already Director Operations, same for Gadzama who Yar’Adua appointed, the nation's premier intelligence agency should not be destroyed on the altar of ethnic bigotry 149 Likes 10 Shares |

I won't blame Buhari though, the positions of NSA and DGSS Are two critical and powerful positions that any president keeps close to heart, that's why Jonathan initially had Gen Azazi and Ekpenyong initially although it must be mentioned that Jonathan appointed a Northern prince Dasuki as NSA for the last two years and Gen Gusau as DefMin, That said though PMB should have picked someone from service rather than a retiree. 29 Likes 2 Shares |

Jonathan had a Northern NSA and Ita Ekpenyong was the most senior SSS Director when GEJ made him DG so it was not ethnic, Buhari is just a bigoted fellow 109 Likes 6 Shares |

Dollyak: I'm tempted to agree with you. The sensitivity of the position, the partisanship of the DSS, the cognate experience of the new appointee and President Buhari's last experience in power are issues that could easily justify this decision of his. It's now up to them to discharge their responsibilities diligently. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Dollyak: Not really, if anyone comes out and say he/she is not bias then we are just fooling ourselves, but the main thing is performance on the job and not letting the "ounce biasness" affect the job... Our intelligence arm(SSS) is a joke compared to what we have world over, if it will take the new appointed daura to fix it then so be it, no matter how ethnically biased the appointment might be...IMHO 3 Likes 1 Share |

fitzmayowa:Does that mean nobody in the entire directorial cadre of the SSS that was competent enough that Buhari had to bring a mid level retiree to head the organisation, Daura only got the job because he's from Daura....nothing about competence here, the outgoing DG was the Operations Director before he was promoted to DG BY GEJ, a stark difference from this 46 Likes 1 Share |

SenseiX: Am not defending the actions of PMB though, but for him to have appointed a retiree to come head the SSS, he must have seen something in him, plus you know promotion(refering to the promotion under GEJ) at the top cadre in the SSS sometimes involves politics which the SSS isn't free from.... The appointment might be seen as favouring someone from his "backyard" but i don't think that takes away anything from the profile of the person appointed...IMHO 5 Likes |

fitzmayowa:The SSS has its flaws but they remain the closest thing to a semi competent security agency that Nigeria has, the fact that bombings don't go off in Abuja in years is primarily due to their efforts in neutralising all the BH cells in and around Abuja especially the once vibrant Suleja cells, same goes for capturing several top BH commanders 24 Likes |
Re: Buhari Recalls Kinsman From Retirement, Appoints Him DG SSS - Premium Times by Dollyak(f): 5:51am On Jul 03, 2015 |
fitzmayowa:True, but there are some critical positions you need to be balanced. There are many positions I am worried about one of which has to do with the census. If we all fold our arms and let the northerners put themselves in those positions we would be susceptible to rigging. I mean how can you trust a region that still maintain kano is more populated than lagos. People are not thinking beyond to see the implications of some of these appointments. 2 Likes |

SenseiX: That's not completely true. Jonathan also dismissed the then DSS DG Afakriya Gadzama and replaced him with fellow Niger Deltan Ekpenyong a few months after Yar'adua's death. Furthermore, it is believed that Ekpenyong managed intelligence successfully during the 2007 governorship election in Anambra State, where he was the State Director and this was said to have influenced the then President Jonathan’s decision to appoint him as the Director General. 4 Likes |
Re: Buhari Recalls Kinsman From Retirement, Appoints Him DG SSS - Premium Times by Nobody: 5:59am On Jul 03, 2015 |
Rawani:You are wrong, Here's a Wikipedia extract from his profile Ekpeyong was born in Cross River State.[2] He studied at the University of Calabar, obtaining a BA (Hons) in History in 1982, and then a Masters in Philosophy. He was the first director of the Institute of Security Studies in Abuja, a training school for Intelligence Officers. He then was appointed director of the Senior Staff Development Centre of the SSS in Bauchi. Ekpenyong held in turn the positions of SSS director in the states of Bauchi, Kwara, Lagos, Anambra and the Federal Capital Territory. Before being appointed SSS Director General he was Acting National Director (Operations) of the SSS.[3] He managed intelligence successefully during the 2007 governorship election in Anambra State, and this is said to have influenced Jonathan in his favor.[ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ita_Ekpeyong He was Gadzama's No 2, Operations is the next most senior role so he fully merited his becoming DG not because he was from SS, plus if GEJ wanted his kinsman, he would have picked an Ijaw man from a core Niger Delta state like Delta, Bayelsa or Rivers 35 Likes |
