A 20-second video captured the moment
some personnel of the Nigerian Navy in their
barracks believed to be in the Federal
Capital Territory, Abuja, screamed and
danced over the development.

There was jubilation in some military barracks
across the country, when the news of the sacking
of the former service chiefs filtered in on
Tuesday and the announcement of their
replacements.

A 20-second video captured the moment some
personnel of the Nigerian Navy in their barracks
believed to be in the Federal Capital Territory,
Abuja, screamed and danced over the
development.

Sources told SaharaReporters that there was also
jubilation in some army barracks across the
country over the announcement.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday
appointed new service chiefs and finally fired the
Chief of Defence Chief, General Abayomi
Olonisakin, Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur
Buratai, Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok-
Ete Ibas, and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal
Sadique Abubakar, after the four had spent five
years and five months in office.

Although Buhari said on Tuesday that he accepted
their resignation letters, the Defence
Headquarters, Abuja, already clarified in the past
that the military chiefs could not resign and had
to be laid off by the Commander-In-Chief.
Buhari had on July 13, 2015, appointed Olonisakin,
Buratai, Ibas, and Abubakar.

In a State House press release on Tuesday,
Buhari’s Special Adviser, Femi Adesina, said the
new service chiefs were Major-General Leo Irabor
as the CDS, Major-General Ibrahim Attahiru as
the army chief, Rear Admiral A. Z. Gambo as the
naval chief and Air-Vice Marshal I. O. Amao as
the new air chief.

“People dey happy say they don change CNS o,”
one of the navy personnel said in the video.

“Who will not be happy that they were replaced?
It was long overdue, they had become principalities
and they had stagnated the career progression. I
don’t think they resigned. They were fired. The
three service chiefs were supposed to visit the
Ministry of Defence headquarters, Ship House, on
Tuesday afternoon but the meeting was cancelled
in the last minute when the announcement
filtered into the country,” a Ministry of Defence
top official told SaharaReporters.

Olonisakin is the longest serving CDS since 1999.
The closest to him was Admiral Ibrahim Ogohi
(retd.), who served for four years and 29 days
between May 29, 1999 and June 27, 2003.

Also, Buratai is the longest serving COAS since
1999. The closest to him was Lt.-Gen. Azubuike
Ihejirika (retd.), who spent three years and four
months in office; between September 2010 and
January 2014.

Ibas is also the longest serving CNS since 1999,
while the closest person to him was Vice Admiral S.
O. Afolayan, who served for four years, between
2001 and 2005.
SaharaReporters had exclusively reported last
week that the outgoing military chiefs had
awarded four Sport Utility Vehicles, four Peugeot
vehicles, among other juicy retirement benefits to
themselves, according to the 2017 Harmonised
Terms and Conditions of Service for Officers,
which their administration revised.

SaharaReporters had obtained the new HTACOS
2017 which revealed that the military chiefs will
get security staff of over 40 soldiers as well as
domestic and foreign medical cover.

Even those the military are tire of the liabilities who where Incharge.

Their jubiliation will soon be cut short,because the new service chiefs will change nothing in terms of their welfare,corruption in the military is worst than the ones in government houses.

The devil is gone.

EFCC should probe Buratai he stole money.

He should face ICC he killed innocent Nigerians


Buratai embezzled money that was suppose to be used for a course and training of Soldiers, the course is suppose begin on Friday but Buratai after getting the info that he would be changed gave an order for the course to be suspended so that him and other Generals can divert the money to their accounts.


Buratai should be probed

lolz.... people do misinterprete that chapter Alot....

king uzziah wasn't a bad king or preventing Isaiah from seeing the lord

Isaiah said that so that people will know the year he's talking about...that he saw the lord that same year uzziah died

Mark my words. The greatest jubilation in this country will come in the day Buhari will be chased out of Aso rock. That's what Nigerians are earnestly looking forward to. Buhari can never remain on that seat till 2023 .Otherwise this great country will be torn to pieces. Buhari and his disastrous government must go. Nonsense.
