What is the essence of the screening? It is only in this country that someone will be appointed to a position, take over and resume work before going for Senate screening and confirmation.

Campaign after election.
These men have already been announced as the new service chiefs, they have officially taken over their various offices.

So what if they don't do well in the Senate screening, will their appointment be revoked?

I think is some kind of a beer parlour meeting.

Pardon my ignorance please but I thought they should have been screened before they were announced.


I don't think the screening is necessary anymore.

That's not correct, both are Major General although I don't know their year of enlistment however a southerner heading the Army would ruthlessly deal with Northern insecurity without fear or sentiments... Attahiru a Northerner no matter how bad things get would still show a bit of sympathy and sentiments for Northern terrorist or bandits

Even if you screen them behind closed door they won't tell you anything that may jeopardise their chances or exposes their atrocities
