Point of correction,not `always'.Even if he does how does it concern u,it`s his choice or should he be always wearing suit & tie/agbada or his south south brocade.The president is the commander-in-chief whether civilian/military until his tenure expires

That uniform that he is wearing he has committed a big mistake no serving president withu no military experience should wear that, him his advicers are crazy with no form brain running in their head. Obj has every right to wear it but didn't jeg has know right at all.

He his one president that would not stop embarrassing us. The military can take over power for wearing that full uniform and make excuses.

We voted for a civilian president why do we have a uniform man an imposter. He has no right what so ever to wear that uniform.
When will his advisers advise this man. C in C is just a paper name that is worth nothing. And they want us to stop insulting the president.

It's clownish! We get it that he is commander in chief!! But he is a CIVILIAN commander in chief. Our constitution as copied from the u.s constitution ensured "civilian control of the military"...it's ridiculous seeing a man that has never served a day in the armed forces playing dress up with funny looking medals, it blurs the line between our military and civilian president. We have a lot of commanders in chief in africa, zuma, mahama,kagame,etc even al sisi of egypt who was a field marshall but now a civilian president of egypt he has gotten rid of his uniform, even quasi dictator robert mugabe has never worn a uniform, it's ridiculous and it should stop.

OP,

Tell us the truth, when you were a kid would you not feel some kind of rush in your veins wearing boys scouts or boys brigade uniform? GEJ is doing the same.
The clown even has medals. Chai!!!! How did he get those medals? I think that should be your problem and not the uniform.

People like you are a treat to this democracy. Its an insult for a serving president to be wearing a military uniform. The military don't mess with there uniform that is why they have their own court and other systems. He is insulting us all and most especially our military its not the time to be seen with this kind of thing. Why don't people like you use your senses. I can plan a coup and tell nigerians I don't think we are in a democratic settings and present these photos as evidence and even riggings and other abuses going on. He want to copy saddam not knowing well how saddam got there.

No body is disputing who is CIC or not. Medals are offered for acts of bravery and gallantry to military personnel. GEJ has 6 in the photo above. What did he do to be honoured with those medals?

If you are not disputing who the CIC is then be informed that, what you see is one of the numerous ceremonial dressing of the Commander In Chief Of The Nigerian Armed Forces.

Dumbo! I doubt u passed common entrance exams. Asking why the grand commander of the armed forces wears a military uniform? Pls from which village are u typing this crap?
U, those supporting ur foolishness or any Nigeria should challenge him directly on why he is putting on military uniform, then u will know that the CIC is not just for paper.

The idea of the Commander in Chief wearing military uniforms was inherited from the British (the British monarch, who is the Head of State and Commander in Chief,who often wears military uniforms).

At independence, Nnamdi Azikiwe reached an agreement with the armed forces that he would wear military uniforms at certain military events. All civilian heads of state of Nigeria have followed his example.

1.OBJ in a naval uniform during his tenure has President and CIC.

2. DR Nnamdi Azikiwe.

It is unfortunate that we don't accept our own if you're too sure of yourself plan a coup as you've said and see how the world is going to revolt irrespective of the excuse you're giving. Let GEJ be the military high command are aware of this. For your information, GEJ is winning the war against religious intolerance which has been since time immemorial in the north. So he deserves the 5 star been the CIC.
