[i][/i]There are indications on Friday, June 11, 2016 that about 200 military officers may have been sacked by the federal government through text messages (SMS) over their alleged loyalty to former President Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 general elections.

They affected officers were said to have been carefully selected for backing Jonathan during the last 2015 general election.

Further checks in the military establishment in Abuja, also hinted that military officers who were believed to be loyal to the former national security adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki were also affected in the mass sacking.

The list showed that they were mainly from the South East, South South and a small percentage of them were from the North Central region of the country.

The development which is already causing some ripples in the military, according to political analysts, could cost the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration public goodwill.

A source said, “It is being seen as an act of ethnic card to checkmate those officers who were seen as posing danger to the Federal Government and it was resolved in the Presidency that they should be weeded out.”

But the concern as some observers also said was the implication of the sack on the psyche of the military institution and the public which was felt capable of truncating the nation’s democracy as the “systematic sacking “ of over 200 top military officers mainly from the southern part of the country was a decision difficult to defend by the federal government.

“The affected officers were sent text messages relieving them of their jobs and they were directed to pick their sack letters at specific locations without any reason given for terminating their appointments,” said a source in the Presidency which pleaded anonymity.

According to the source, the move allegedly masterminded by “some hawks“ in the presidency was aimed at weeding out all officers who were perceived to be loyal to the last regime and deemed to have played one role or the other favourable to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in the last presidential election.

“The game plan is to remove all vestiges of the old regime, particularly those officers considered to be too intelligent and smart to challenge the status quo.

“Buhari is weary of being toppled a second time, given his ugly past experience. But unknown to him, this latest move of indiscriminate sacking of senior and middle level officers has divided the military and created rumblings in some quarters”, the source stated.

Soldiers are never sacked; they are either retired or dismissed....When an item of news has an omniscient source, the news certainly lacks a modicum of truth.

Until i read from a credible source, i reserve my comments

If this news is true then nothing would save this country anymore.. Bet it!

And someone will come n blame the 5% for fighting for their God given right

You may be right, but that may not apply to this govt..

Buhari has broken every single rule, crossed every limits even before now.. So it's still possible for him to surprise you with even worse things than this..

If this info is true, then I'm sorry to say that Nigeria is finished as a united federation.

Very much in alignment with our checklist

LOOPSIDED MILITARY IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND UNREPRESENTATIVE.

lol @ ipob blog site fabricated trash..

Am very sure they are as corrupt as there pay master.

LOL @ OP and his blind followers. Soldiers ROYAL to Johnathan indeed. Nwanne, TLY(try) another RIE(lie) biko. This one no just follow at all!!

I hope not.

Someone should pls confirm and verify this report.

Hmm..

On a serious note
Today, I want to take time and thank God for making Buhari the president of this country.

At first, I did not understand why God allowed it to happen. But now I know and I have seen the benefit.
This is how I understand the benefit.
Had it been Buhari did not become president:

1. We will think that by now fuel will be N45 per litre.
2. We will think that by now N1 will be equal to $1.
3. We will think that by now three million jobs would have been created.
4. We will think that by now unemployed youths would have been receiving N5,000 stipends.
5. We will think that by now pupils would have been getting at least a meal(including fruits) in school.
6. We will think that by now Buhari would have made his assets and liabilities public.
7. We will think that by now 720,000 jobs by the 36 states in the federation yearly (20,000 per state) would have been created.
8. We will think that by now there would be permanent peace in the Niger Delta and other conflict prone areas such as Plateau, Taraba, Bauchi, Borno and Abia.
9. We will think that by now the government would have started creating additional middle-class of at least two million new home owners in the first year in government and one million annually thereafter.
10. We will think that by now maternal and children healthcare services would be free...LONG LIVE NIGERIA

Funny enough, some gullibles jump at the garbage.

exactly!

As I saw the headline where the OP wrote Royal instead of Loyal, I just knew the write up, in its entity, is the handwork of a wailing iPod Zombie who has difficulties pronouncing L and R as it is common with them.

Haba.... Use ur brain n not ur private part to think....

OP is it 'royal' or 'loyal' ? Na wah for you o!

It's okay.
Let Buhari keep destroying Nigeria.
Nothing will be left by the time he realized bigotry in a multi-ethnic state is counter productive.

Your problem is that of hypocritical confusion and indecision ,why are you behaving as if biafra will not help you solve the problem of igbo migration to lagos and the problem of lagos being a no man's land.


May God help nigeria from the spirit of hypocrisy.

No single name of the people who were sacked? How does one now confirm the veracity of this claim, moreover the writer doesn't really know how the military operates, because if he does he won't have written this rubbish.
We really have to be careful the type of news we put out there, may God help us all
