General Attahiru’s Possible Successors Emerge by dre11(m): 4:35pm On May 23, 2021
The search for a successor to the late Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt. General Ibrahim Attahiru, has commenced.

Attahiru and other military officers died in a plane crash Friday evening, near the Kaduna airport, while on official trip. They were buried on Saturday.

Among the deceased were the Chief of Military Intelligence, Brig-Gen. Kuliya, and Provost Marshall, Brig-Gen. Olayinka.

There are speculations that Major General Danjuma Ali-Keffi, General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1 Division of Nigerian Army, Kaduna, may become the COAS.

But Ali-Keffi, a Nasarawa indigene, is not among the most senior Army officers. There are more than 30 Major Generals above him.

At a time Nigeria is at war with terrorists and bandits, President Muhammadu Buhari is not expected to allow dozens of Generals to retire in one fell swoop.

A top military officer told PRNigeria that several factors are considered for the appointment of service chiefs beyond seniority.

“The President has the discretion to appoint anyone he wishes, or probably a nomination from the Minister of Defence. Apart from seniority, officers considered must be grounded in military operations and intelligence”, he said.

Other officers being appraised

The Chief of Policy and Plan, Major General Ben Ahanotu of Regular Course 35 from Anambra State. He was the commander of the operation that captured Boko Haram founder, Mohammed Yusuf and his followers at their hideout in Maiduguri in 2009 before handing them over to the Police.

Major General AM Aliyu of Regular Course 36 from Gombe State is another operation officer. He is the Chief of Administration and former Director Foreign Liaison at the Defence Intelligence Agency. He was responsible for processing intelligence for military operations.

Major General Ibrahim Manu Yusuf of Regular Course 37 from Yobe State. He is Chief of Operation and former Force Commander Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF). Yusuf, formerly of the Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, lectured at the Nigerian Defence College (NDC), Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), and Nigerian Army Peacekeeping Centre (NAPKC), Jaji.

Major General Faruk Yahaya of Regular Course 37 from Zamfara State. He is the current Theatre Commander Operation in the North-East and former General Officer Commanding Officer, 1 Division.

I wonder who is currently leading the army since Attahiru had no deputy, buhari should have appointed an army chief since yesterday to avoid a state of anarchy in the army.

Is it only northerners that are in this country??

A northerner was there before, another northerner left, another northerner is intending to take over.

It will be better if we rename this country THE NORTHERN REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

I would be shocked and "E go choke me" at the same time if Major general Ben Ahanotu is selected.

'Maka na' that is a pipe dream when Buhari is involved.

Will PMB surprise us, and appoint the best hands rather than just picking his northern brother.

Re: General Attahiru’s Possible Successors Emerge by dynicks(m): 4:59pm On May 23, 2021
If there is one thing I admire buhari for, then it's his very obvious nepotic behaviour!!...

He just doesn't care what those outside his inner circle has got to gossip or talk about!!...He does what he feels is right personally not minding what the majority says!!


Meanwhile should bet9ja include what's about to play out and from which region the new COAS would come from, then I'm very sure 99% of punters would win!!....SURE ODD!! grin

Bet9ja definitely wouldn't wanna take such risk... grin
