The Nigeria Army has said that Lt Gen Lamidi Adeosun remains the chief of Training and Operations at the Army Headquarters despite his accelerated promotion by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Its spokesman, Col Sagir Musa, said in a statement that insinuations or suggestions of his appointment as new chief of Army Staff is fake.

Col.Musa said: “Contrary to fake news going round insinuating or suggesting appointment of Lieutenant General LO Adeosun as Chief of Army Staff of the Nigerian Army, members of the public are hereby once again informed that Lieutenant General LO Adeosun has just been given special/accelerated promotion from Major General to Lieutenant General and formally communicated to him by the Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen TY Buratai.

“Lt Gen LO Adeosun is only granted special promotion by the President, Commander -in – Chief, of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari for his extraordinary feats, exemplary leadership, loyalty and uncommon commitment in the counter insurgency operation in the North Eastern part of Nigeria.

Buhari is causing confusion everywhere , what kind of confusing promotion is this na , this is proof Buhari indeed promoted that custom man yesterday to CG like the man claimed

Why will nairalanders think buhari wants to retire his man burutai for a Southerner when he is yet to accomplish his RUGA initiative.
I don't think it can happen

The army should concern themselve with more pressing issue

u just hurled abuse on Buhari.what has he done?.Couldn't you read or understand that simple English written above?.

What is wrong with buhari.......another officer on the same rank with chief of army staff? ...... I think he's going to be announced as COAS. This is weird really.Why pick someone from the 34th course(think so) and make him a lieutenant general knowing fully well that the chief of policy and planning that acts as the second in command to the chief of army staff is still a major general.... How do you expect nomalcy In situations like that...... If you promote someone you had better give him an appointment that will reflect it, that's the best thing to do or else you're encouraging anarchy......and I think he deserves the promotion especially on what he did at maiduguri and commander mnjtf

Welcome development credible promotion

Tomide007:
What is wrong with buhari. . . This is not done anywhere......another officer on the same rank with chief of army staff? Aberration...... I think he's going to be announced as COAS. This is weird really.

I'm sure you know more about the army than a career soldier and a two time Commander in Chief.

Useless promotion...Adeosun sef

is it because he is our son?

Okay

Up and down, things fall apart.

Goodness our hope dealing with Boko Haram & Fulani Hersmen has been dashed.

Kikiki such position can never be given to a kafir inyamiri under this despotic junta

People who dont know anything about military like me will carry this story for head, some will even quote the constitution he faulted. wait and read comments from social media technocrats, who has solution to every political problem but cant play an ordinary home politics for family of 6.

If he's truly your son, then you know what to do

Lol! I guess this is to prevent illiterate IPOD YOOTS from propagating rubbish.

VillagePipu:


Which your son?

The bearded coward who got 3M of you killed and ran from Abakaliki to Abidjan like a stray dog?

See this one claiming someone else's ethnicity because he's ashamed of his parents, family and ancestry.

So who started this 'fake news'??

Sorry i may sound rude . What do u expect 4rm a primary six leaving certificate

Is he a northerner, No, Then he can't be COAS in buhari govt.

That custom man should be given the position he so much desire

Just on Monday, selected officers in the rank of Brig. Gen. were forcefully retired.

Young officers for crying out loud.

Never knew it was to pave way for this nonsense lopsided promotions currently going on to favour a selected few, including Burutai.

If hell had departments, Buhari will be Satan's next door neighbor.

.

Ok

What a country!

The Nigerian Army always debunking the reality.


In a forth night, what is not now will become it as it has been perceived to be.



Congrats Lt. Gen. Adeosun.

There is no confusion anywhere, any civil or public servant can get accelerated or special promotion by President,Governor,Minister,Permanent Secretary, Head of Service or Head of Agencies according to the rules provided he's committed, hardworking and recommended by his or her superior.
