Boko Haram: Why Buhari Is Keeping Service Chiefs –garba Shehu by NofiuFade(m): 3:18pm On Dec 01, 2020 |
Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), says the clamour for the sacking of service chiefs is ‘out of place’. According to Shehu, the president has the prerogative to appoint or sack any of the country’s service chiefs, adding that the president keeps the service chiefs as long as he is satisfied with their performance. The PUNCH had earlier reported that the horrific killing of at least 43 rice farmers at Zabarmari in the Jere Local Government Area of Borno State last Saturday sparked fresh call for the sacking of the country’s service chiefs. Reacting to the call by several Nigerians who also want the president to rejig the country’s security architecture, Shehu said the decision to sack or retain any of the service chiefs is entirely the president’s. He spoke on Monday night in an interview with Arise TV monitored by The PUNCH. The presidential spokesman said, “I am not aware that the tenure of service chiefs is subjected to any law or regulation that is clearly stated. They serve at the pleasure of the president and (if) the president is satisfied with their performance, he keeps them. The buck stops on his table —with due respect to the feelings of Nigerians. “The clamour for the sack is out of place considering that the president is not subject to the opinion of opposition political party which has clamoured for this all the time. It is entirely his own determination; he decides who he keeps as his service chiefs and for how long.” Boko Haram were reported to have first tied up the farmers, who were working in rice fields, before slitting their throats. Shehu had said the farmers had no military clearance to be on the rice farms when the attack happened. His reaction was greeted by outrage on social media as many Nigerians lambasted him for blaming the dead. Explaining further last night, Shehu said, “My suggestion in the earlier news report is that the military had not certified those areas as being free of landmines and terrorists’ intrusions. Whether there are processes for getting licences or commissions, it is not for me, the military is in a better position to describe those processes." Kayode Oyero punchng.com

What is wrong with all these presidential aides who always insult the sensibility of sane Nigerians with utter impunity? This is a more good reason why the president ought to be addressing this nation himself to save Nigeria insults from these grossly stupid & irresponsible image makers around him. 1 Like

The buck stops on his table —with due respect to the feelings of Nigerians.Nigerians clamouring for a president who failed woefully to provide adequate security of lives & property to sack his service chiefs is now "out of place"? So even the rubberstamp NASS, relevant stakeholders in the north and Nigerians that have been clamouring for the dullard to reinvigorate the security architecture of this nation are all members of the "opposition political party"? It sucks to stay around Buhari.His cluelessness and incompetence are really contagious. |

As far as Buhari is concerned. He is doing a very good job. There is no poverty There is no insecurity He has given security agencies everything they need to secure Nigeria and they are doing it. That's the summary of what Shehu said after blaming the rice farmers that died. PROJECT NIGERIA has failed. 1 Like |

Can this man listen to himself. So Buhari is pleased with the job of the service chiefs. God will judge them. The wrath of God will visit them. The bleeding blood of those farmers will be on thier head. The only thing they think about is the opposition party and 2023 elections. Buhari can easily travel to Ebonyi state to celebrate and congratulate umahi for joining APC. To him, he has provided the necessary funds for military in borno so they can go Bleep themselves. I remember the 2015 election. How children from this state came out to vote him 1 Like |
