The PMB's ADC is in the Military Police corps,while GEJ's (former) ADC is an infantry officer. Both corps are cool to pick an ADC from. The question is can they take a bullet for the president? Former ADC to IBB took a bullet (infact,he died) for IBB during the Major Gideon Orka led 1990 coup to oust IBB. I like the ADC thing...it brings one to lime-light. I see myself there in the NEAREST future,God willing. |

Since I started being aware of what ADC means, honestly I've never seen an ADC with so much swag than that of GEJ. The job has a definition and he's simply the definition. He's such a calm, gentle but fierce-actioned guy. I make friends with such people.  PMB's ADC looks too stiff, religious and unsociable for such a post.  1 Like |

Bifwoli: There is absolutely no term like 'proper beret' in the Nigerian Military! He is an infantry officer,and that's part of their uniform...GREEN. His RED beret tells that he is a military police by commission. The white inner-wear you see is also part of their uniform...that's how they wear it,they allow it tucked out a bit so that you can see the insignia on it. Pls,before you post,try and authenticate your facts,ok? We learn here...people come here to learn...It won't be cool misleading them with unverified posts. Thanks. 2 Likes |

frank043: Adegbe:: President’s last man standing More often, people wonder what exactly is the role of the man who stands studiously behind the President in public, aside providing just security protection. Aide- De-Camp (ADC), as they are referred to in most countries, ordinarily serve as personal assistants to a general officer. The use of Aide-de-Camp is really an age long tradition associated with the military. Nigeria’s present democracy of course, also inherited this system. While the President as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is entitled to a military officer as ADC, his deputy retains a police personnel in this seemingly enviable position. Typically, the responsibilities of this officer to the President cuts across; providing for the personal well-being and security, and relieving the general officer of routine and time-consuming duties; preparing and organising schedules, activities, and calendars; preparing and executing trip itineraries; coordinating protocol activities; acting as an executive assistant and performing varied duties, according to the general officer’s desires. Colonel Ojogbane Adegbe is the ADC to President Goodluck Jonathan, the last man standing. He is really first among equals but a highly privileged officer in the military who knows where the king’s horse-tail is kept. Combined with his array of duties which are strategic, politicians see him as a powerful source to get the President’s attention. A Mathematician and a holder of a Masters degree in Intelligence and International Security, the strong built soldier is perceived within the military circle as an upright and fine gentleman combined with his ability to pick a needle with a shot. These qualities and military prowess no doubt made him the preferred choice while the search for the C-in-C’s aide de camp was on. As then Lt. Colonel, Adegbe first showed up at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on May 6, 2010 for an interview, the day President Jonathan was sworn in as a substantive President following the death of President Umaru Yar’Adua. Besides criticisms that the President’s use of an ADC under a democratic dispensation is old fashioned, Nigeria is not alone. It is a worldwide tradition that the President’s Aide-de-Camp comes from the military. Indeed, established democracies, and even the dictatorships, adhere to it. One interesting thing is the fact that, the relationship between presidents and their Aide-De-Camps is not different from that between a needle and the thread. As the closest aide to the president, an aide-de-camp has his ears on very important issues. Like obtained in other climes, Col. Adegbe is seen as the third eye of the president as well as his seventh sense. Standing all times on the watch behind the president in public, he cranes his eyes in all direction and in no direction in particular just to observe and give his boss feedback on the general perception about what he does. Aside other security apparatus within the confines of the Presidential Villa such as the Brigade of Guards, men of the Department of State Security, Defence Intelligence, National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the ADC and the Chief Security Officer, every last point security for the number one citizen appears to rest on him. One thing which the present Aide De Camp to the President is known for within the Presidential Villa and to anyone who has come in contact with him on the job is his calm, friendly but principled attitude to work. At different public functions, Col. Adegbe in the course of a speech or remark by the President is sometimes seen dropping notes to alert his boss of either an omission or merely to guard him against areas he should not afford to goof. Fortunately for Adegbe, his principal acknowledges these qualities as well. It was therefore not a surprise with the array of top officers and politicians who converged in the President’s office last year, November 11, 2013 when the ADC was decorated with his new rank of a Colonel. Apart from ministers who attended the ceremony, former Chief of Defence Staff, Ola Ibrahim, led other Service Chiefs to the event. The National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd) did not fail to attend. President Jonathan was joined by his vice, Namadi Sambo and assisted by the officer’s wife, Oluwabukola, for the decoration. His principal said of him: “I thank the Service Chiefs for finding time to be here in this ceremony. You are a privileged Colonel, otherwise they will not be here.” The President’s remark came during the decoration ceremony of the ADC as colonel. “When you are given higher authority, you are expected to perform according to your status. We hope that whatever you have been doing very well, you will even do more,” the President noted shortly after performing the ceremony. Gallantly, heavy built Adegbe now wears the new rank of a Colonel, what is fondly regarded to as red neck officer. With his senior military rank, the ADC has the only privilege among several other key principal staff of the President and rides in the same limousine, sitting side by side with his boss and discusses important issues at the pleasure of his principal. Adegbe is a 1995 graduate of the Nigerian Defence Academy NDA, Kaduna, a member of the 42 Regular Course. He also attended the Kings College, London where he obtained a Master’s degree. However, as influential as the office of ADC to the president is said to be, occupants of this prestigious office are also at risk. In some countries, they are duty bound to die in the stead of their principal. As a true soldier who is ready to die at his duty post, the ADC must be ready to lie on top of the president or head of state and receive bullets on his behalf. But they say, “you inhale smoke from making fire in the king’s furnace”, while the ultimate goal is to serve, the expectation exist too that the gains of being close to power, come with this distinguished privilege of ADC position which is the reason for the perception of his high influence. http://newtelegraphonline.com/adegbe-presidents-last-man-standing/ 2 Likes |

hensben: Seems the average Nairalander political section is becoming dumber and dumber. Seems the more mature and knowledgeable people have left. I've not been commenting for a long while before now. Imagine one saying a Col would now be promoted to a Major. Another who watches TV is commenting that GEJ's ADC who has been promoted Colonel since and wearing the uniform might now be promoted Colonel because ADCs can't attain that rank. What a pity. I learnt all the Armed Forces' Officer ranks since 1986 when I was barely a teenager. Yet everyone is screaming "graduate" while they progressively get duller and duller 2 Likes |

Major is not a promotion to him, its demotion because at that rank in the pix, he is already a rank ahead of major. The only difference in the two pix is that one is a military police (the one with the red beret ) and the other one is not. |

GEJ's ADC is already a Colonel by rank and a senior to PMB's , normal protocol is that he will soon be posted out of the country as a Defence Attaché and subsequent promoted to a Brigadier General . While PMB'S ADC is a lieutenant Colonel who will be due for promotion in 2 years and the C-in-C will be the one to dress him with the new rank . This is part of the selection process for the ADC is done . Bt honestly GEJ's ADC is a really galant officer by the mear look at his physic and compositor the guy is an ADC material. |
