Why Buhari Extended Gen. Olonosakin's Tenure By One Year by Impecca(m): 2:30pm On Dec 23, 2016 |
President Muhammadu Buhari
has approved the extension of tenure of
the Chief of Defence Staff, General
Gabriel Abayomi Olonisakin by one
year.
Vanguard investigation showed that
Buhari’s decision to extend the tenure of
the CDS which would have ended this
weekend, was due to political
maneuverings by vested interest who
want to ensure that the two most
powerful positions in the Military, that of
the CDS and that of the Chief of Army
Staff, remain in the core north. It was further gathered that before the
President order that General
Olonisakin’s tenure be extended by one
year, the CDS had commenced the
gradual evacuation of his personal
effect and belongings from the office.
Gen Olonisakin CDS
He had no inkling that the tenure would
be extended even though Mr President
can decide on such extension as
provided for in Law.
The CDS, who was the Commandant of
the Training and Doctrine Command
(TRADOC) of the Nigerian Army in Niger
State before his appointment, was at
one time, the Commander, Nigerian
Army Signals Corp and also served as
the Principal General Staff Officer to a
former Defence Minister among several
other appointments.
A presidency source who confirmed the
development to Vanguard said the
action of Mr. President has shown
divine intervention in the affairs of men
noting that some persons had already
concluded how offices in the military
will be shared, notwithstanding that
promotions and appointment has the
backing of God.
Recall that early this month, the
Defence minister issued a statement
debunking media reports that the Chief
of Defence Staff, General Abayomi
Olonisakin has been retired and that his
position has been handed over to the
Chief of Air staff, Air Marshal Sadique
Abubakar.
The statement said, “The attention of
the of the Minister of defence, Mansur
Mohammad Dan Ali was drawn to some
media publication claiming that he has
sent letters to the Chief of Defence staff,
General Abayomi Olnisakin and the
Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral
Ibok Ibas directing them to hand over
their offices on or before Friday
December 16, 2016.
“Please be informed that there was no
such communication between the office
of the minister of Defence and the
service chiefs directing any one of them
to hand over his office and proceed on
retirement.
“The appointment and replacement of
service chiefs is a prerogative
responsibility of the office of the
President and Commander in Chief”, the
minister said. |

This is a ploy to rope him in and disgrace him in the upcoming trials at the ICC. Oluwa is on top and Olonisakin has already packed his bag. Who wants to tarnish his image? |
