The leader of the Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF), Professor Ango Abdullahi, has said that there is nothing wrong in appointing service chiefs from one region of the country.

Professor Abdullahi expressed displeasure over criticism that trailed the appointment of the inspector general of police, Mohammed Adamu, because the latter is from Nasarawa state, Igbere TV reports.

In his defence of the appointment of the Inspector General of police, Mohammed Adamu who is from Nasarawa state, Ango expressed displeasure over the criticism that trailed it.

He added that Service Chiefs don't make security decisions based on the regions they are from but for a broader interest.

Professor Abdullahi said: "It's very sad that there is insinuation here that, for instance, the chief of police now is from Nasarawa state, is he going to take decision based on the fact that he is from Nassarawa state or perhaps on a larger scale that the fact that the IG of police is from Nasarawa state and Nasarawa state is a state in northern Nigeria, so he is chief of police from the north and, therefore, there will be no consideration on police matters concerning other parts of Nigeria?

"This is very sad, very dangerous argument that is being put forward. How many offices are we even talking about and you are saying lopsidedness of offices?

"Have you looked at the offices in the civil service and those that occupy them, so what is the fuss all about? Are they parochial or are they biased in the discharge of duties concerning other parts of the country?"

Me i wont talk ...let the next foolish president from the better south enter aso rock and not do what bihari is doing

Then we would have issues

When Nigeria disintergrate soon, Northern Arewa Republic will have all the freedom they need to appoint all their service chiefs from their region including those without certificates.
Bloody terrorist.

That's not fair representations.


This entity is made up of North and South, not only North. There should be equity in all appointments.

Most Northerners don't reason well
Yes it's true that they have the numbers to determine
Who becomes the president but it would also be
A disadvantage to them if the Country disintegrate

There is 50% chance the Country will break up
In the next 10 years if Igbos are not Given support
Of presidency

One thing I know is that God has a way of
Punishing people.
Since they say no to restructuring

All these Crises happening in the North will surely hit them hard

Karma is a female dog

Setting precedents that you cant condone...

This man is a fake professor, a coward. he cannot standout with professors from the south. I am convinced that he is a professor of Islamic studies.

How did he even become a prof? No sense in his talk at all
