Sekibo told newsmen “As a committee, we have come to find out or have an opinion that the Nigeria Army is doing well.

Senators and the Chief of Army Staff, Major-General Kenneth Minimah, yesterday engaged in a shouting match following the refusal of the army chief to respond to questions in the presence of newsmen. The Senate Committee on Defence had invited the Chief of Army Staff and other service chiefs to a briefing on the security situation in the insurgency affected areas. Trouble started following a request by chairman of the committee, George Thompson Sekibo, that the army chief should make some remarks. Major-General Minimah, however, insisted that he would not discuss military’s operational strategies in front of the media. The meeting almost ended in a shouting match, as senators demanded that he should make some comments, but the army chief insisted that he would not discuss military operational matters before the press.

Those senators should remember that they lobbied for their brothers, children, in laws e.t.c to be recruited into the military just for unemployment sake. Also I learnt the senators insist their bothers, sisters and their kith and kins be promoted in the armed forces. In addition, soldiers and officers who dread boko haram ran to the senators to get preferential postings to other locations not associated with boko haram. The senators cannot exonerate themselves from the rot in the military. I believe the COAS wanted to expose the negative influence the senators have on the military amongst other issues.

Unfortunately, this is the undiluted truth.. . . The great tragedy of the Nigerian condition.

Senators, Reps, other top public officers and politicians, traditional leaders, top pastors and Imams, etc... They are all represented (and implicated) in this massive web of corruption and nepotism...at the federal and state levels, nationwide. It's a big problem, and I don't think it can be solved anytime soon.
