If you take this appointment in isolation, Bubu seems like others but if you judge this along side other thousands of appointments,that's where Bubu's nepotism lost everyone by millions of kilometers.
That's how you people always suggest the goal post be shifted whenever you are caught pant down. You are presented with an undiluted evidences and facts but you can't accept them and move on.
There is no cry you have not cried that bubu appointment of the Army chiefs are not balanced. But a mere looks debunks your assertion.
For instance, it's fact that the four Army chiefs are equally shared between the two major regions : two from south and two from North.
A further dissecting of this fact proves that every of these Army chiefs come from different regions: north west, north east, south west, and South south. Take religion for instance again, two are Christians and two Muslims.
Let go further to look at their tribes which seems to be must complicated issue about majority of them. While it is true that the newly appointed Army Chief who is not even yet confirmed is from sokoto and Fulani by origin, the late he succeeded has complicated origin that only few and close ones could tell with accuracy is real origin and tribe. Some have said he was from one of the benue state minority tribe, born and brought up in kaduna. Some others said he was nupe from Niger State but brought up in kaduna. If we should go by historical antecedence about kaduna state being the melting point of the northerners, one have no reason not to believe either of these. El rufai we all know as the governor of kaduna state today parents' are originally from katsina, to buttress the point. But tell that to many they won't believe.
This is also true about the present chief of defense staff who we all publicly know is from delta state today. However, there are traces of his origin being somewhere one of the core igbo state. What is not complicated about him either is that he has every affinity to be called delta igbo, as even the core igbo are secretly claiming him but would refrain from doing that with open hands just to meet up with their political maneuver that igbos are marginalized and endangered tribe under this administration; funny enough from people who considered the former President, Jonathan from bayalsa state with an undoubted ijaw identity to be an igbo man. They even perpetrated his igbo sounding name 'Ebere' to fully claim him.
So just like one can not concludes correctly that the late army chief wasn't Fulani or Hausa, it's correct not to conclude too that the defense chief is not igbo. What I am saying in essence is that no one can claim with accuracy that igbos are not in the presence Army chiefs configuration just like one can't claim correctly that the Fulani or Hausa were presence before the demised of Attahiru.
About the Air Force Chief, it's clear that he is Yoruba, accept if we want to know which Yoruba extraction he comes from because the Yoruba too are not completely homogeneous people as we outsiders would always believe: there the egba, ijoebu, ekiti, etc.
Regarding the naval Chief he also has complicated tribal origin. While he is also identified in public as Hausa or Fulani or Hausa-fulani (if at all there is anything like that), the fact surrounding him is that he is one of those minority tribe of the north eastern adamawa/gongola axis.
Nevertheless, while those detractors of the present government would jump to conclusions that every Muhammad, abubukar, salihu, Muslim etc whether he/she is from North west or north east or north Central is appointed by the government is a Fulani and a northerner, they would quickly take exception when it's replicated that every chukwu, amaechi, balogun, obasanjo appointed is a southerner. They would tell us south has east west and south south but north is north. For instance, when the former police ig, kutigi who every knew was a nupe from Niger State, north Central, we were told to believe simply that he was nothing but Fulani and a northerner. The same was about ig Suleiman from nassarawa state.
In a nutshell, if we are to take a look at all the angles and put all the indices into consideration as you seems to suggest, the results may shake most of you making unfounded claims here. When CAN attempted that on the issue of appointments of judges recently, the final results put them into permanent coma. Maybe you are not aware.

Guy why are you cursing your generation?

Say amen if you are sure that your god buhari is running the country very well. It's a prayer and you just say amen to it. It's simple.

If you can't say amen, that means you know the truth and you are still wondering why people hate him. You are just an hypocrite. Why people no hate Yaradua like they hate him. They are both from the same region, the same state and the same tribe.

Peace out.

*Well this is only for Chief of Army Staff, have you considered other arms of the military to check whether it was also lopsided, have you also schooled us on other appointments especially the juicy ones to check whether there was a spread of it across all regions of the federation.....
Let me ask you, since your Oga appointed his chiefs as the war against insurgency increase or reduce? Let's consider these points before we open our mouth... No body can criticize a balanced government.

But this thread is all about COAS, go to twitter and see how children of anger are crucifying the President since he made the appointment. You guys needs to be schooled.

You cant change goal post. Tell me if this is not true.

You are still far from understanding.
No body is saying that he cannot chose his COAS from his village.
Why people are crucifying him, according to u is because all his appointments are from one side.
If he had spread his appointments just like other presidents, no one will complain.
No body crucified the past president on pattern of appointments cos they relatively spread their appointments over the whole regions.

OP, note that Nigerians are not complaining about the appointment of COAS alone but the whole security appointments under Buhari. So, do us a favour by listing that of Navy, Airforce, DSS, NIA, NCS, NDLEA, etc
Re: History Of Chief Of Army Staff Appointments From 1999 Till Date by Akanbiedu(m): 9:07am On May 28, 2021
Only Yar'adua was fair across board. Obasanjo was fair across regions but biased in religion. GEJ was unfair both in region and religion.

Buhari is performing balancing act, trying to correct previous imbalance.

Then it's safe to say the purpose of making this post to portray buhari as being fair in his appointments is defeated.

I can prove u wrong by giving u PMB's appointment from 2016-2020 but any time I post that evidence one ethnic bias moderator consistently following me used to ban me. But if u still disagree I'll still post it.
There are more Southern Christians I'm PMB's political appointments and more Southern Christians in PMB's MDAs appointments but the only thing which is obvious to followers of current affairs is PMB appoint Northerners in strategic positions. I have GEJ appointments where he appointed his kinsmen in strategic positions, PMB's own look like a child play. That idiot moderator is stopping me from posting similar evidences!
