President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the promotion of the Nigerian Army Chief of Training and Operations, Maj Gen Lamidi Adeosun, to the rank of a Lieutenant General, the same rank as the Chief of the Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai.

The Nigerian Army confirmed this promotion in a release on Tuesday.

The acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col Sagir Musa, said apart from Adeosun, the President also approved the promotion of “Brig Gen AB Biu, General Officer Commanding 7 Division to the rank of a Major General.”

Musa said, “The President and Commander-in-Chief, President Muhammadu Buhari, has approved the accelerated promotion of two senior officers and a subaltern of the Nigerian Army. The officers are granted promotion for their extraordinary feats, courage, exemplary leadership, loyalty, uncommon commitment and valour in the counter-insurgency operation in the North Eastern part of the country.

“The two senior officers are Maj Gen Lamidi Adeosun, the Chief of Training and Operations at Army Headquarters, who has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General and Brig Gen AB Biu, General Officer Commanding 7 Division and Commander Sector 2 Operation Lafiya Dole, Maiduguri, promoted to the rank of a Major General. Also, promoted to the rank of Captain is Lieutenant AJ Danjibrin of 211 Demonstration Battalion Bauchi.

“Similarly, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai, on behalf of officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army felicitated with the newly promoted officers and extends his best wishes to them in all their future endeavours.”

All these office generals sef.

None of them have ever seen any war front.

Training is exclusively reserved for southerners.

No power.

No chop chop.

Whao! Congratulations sir.Incoming COAS! Happy for you.Kudus to the Buhari presidency.

Congratulations man .

vvvv

What is the implication of this promotion?

Based on precedence, only the chief of army staff gets promoted to the rank of a Lieutenant General. Was he promoted to understudy Buratai so as to ease the succession plan? Or maybe he’s being prepared to take over as chief of defense staff from Gen. Olonisakin as it seems unlikely to me that PMB will be comfortable with a southerner as his chief of army staff.

Good one from our President.
We wish Lt Gen Adeosun all the best for the future.

A better Nigeria is all we want.

Afonja can only enjoy licking the remaining fragments in the soup pot in this Buhari govt.but will pay heavily when the repercussion starts
They never learnt from Awo's mistakes

Raise ur hands if U actually thought it was d Adeosun dat forged NYSC.. It is only in dis country dat U will hear of promotions for military officers in d face of glaring failures and inefficiencies.. Sounds like Buratai may b removed hence d accelerated promotion

Power change hands when U know the right person..

This country is seriously under threat.

Go and handle those your brothers known as Shiites and your busy doing promotion.

Maj. Gen. Lamidi Adeosun is the man they want to use and replace Buratai. Anyways, Congratulations on your promotion.

I wish you can fight Herdsmen, bandits, kidnappers, Boko haram, ND militants, etc with all honesty, but I know that won't happen because you will still be doing the bidding of the cabals.

Try to, at least, boost your boys morale fighting in the field when you finally resume as COAS. Don't be


So Col. Sagir Musa, the man who started oil bunkering in the creeks of Niger Delta is still in Abuja? It is well.

Incoming Army Chief
