• North moves to back Sambo Dasuki
•Gusau, Akilu may replace Bello Haliru
Ike Abonyi and Chuks Okocha in Abuja
A graphic account of how General
Andrew Owoye Azazi (rtd) was removed
on Friday as National Security Adviser
by President Goodluck Jonathan has
emerged.
Inside sources at the Aso Rock
Presidential Villa, who gave the chilling
description of how Azazi’s stay at the
helm of the nation’s security
apparatchik ended, said it all began
moments after the President returned
from Brazil.
When he came back after attending the
Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the
President immediately summoned a
meeting of the National Security
Council and National Defence Council
with Azazi in attendance.
According to sources, after the meeting
he invited Azazi to his office and told
him there was no need for him to go
back to his office as he was being
replaced.
Azazi was stunned to the marrow. Still
in bewilderment, the former NSA then
sent for his aides to help retrieve his
personal effects from the office.
The President had sacked the NSA and
Defence Minister Bello Haliru
Mohammed. Azazi has been replaced by
Colonel Sambo Dasuki, who once served
as aide de camp to former military
president, General Ibrahim Babangida
(rtd). The replacement for Mohammed
is yet to be named for screening by the
Senate.
Announcing the shake-up, the Special
Adviser to the President on Media and
Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, had said:
"The NSA has been dropped; Sambo
Dasuki has been announced as his
replacement. The minister of defence
has also been dropped," Abati had said.
In the meantime, retired military and
security chiefs are moving to back
Dasuki, a scion of the Sokoto caliphate,
in the new assignment.
The officers are said to be resolved to
provide a bulwark behind Dasuki to rein
in the Boko Haram menace and find a
permanent solution to the growing
insecurity in parts of the North.
The President had left the country on
Monday as suicide bomb attacks
ravaged three churches in Kaduna last
Sunday.
The attacks, which killed several people,
would later spark off further violence in
the city and in Yobe State, necessitating
a 24-hour curfew.
THISDAY, has however, learnt that the
President’s move against Azazi and
Mohammed was not without reasons,
immediate and remote.
The immediate reason, according to the
sources, was last week’s bomb attacks
in Kaduna and Yobe states and the poor
handling of the crisis by the security
team.
It was learnt that there was high wire
intrigue within the top echelon at the
Presidential Villa, which came to fore
during the President’s trip to Brazil.
There was a clash of strategy by the
officers on how to respond to the
challenge posed by the Kaduna bomb
attack.
Also, the mystery death of Boko Haram
kingpin Bama within 24 hours after his
capture, though with gun shot wounds,
according to sources, played its role in
the President’s move to shake up the
security team.
Apart from his past alleged indiscretion
in the handling of his very high
sensitive position, the NSA’s poor
coordination of relevant agencies
especially in the Kaduna crisis and his
outburst on the emergency rule rumpus
was not well-received by the President
who felt it was one offence too many.
THISDAY learnt that the fall-out, which
has been a build-up to not too cordial
relationship in the cabinet, may lead to
full cabinet reshuffle by President
Jonathan.
“The changes were also informed by the
need to inject fresh blood, fresh ideas
into the security apparatchik of the
country,” one of the sources said.
Following the sack of Muhammed as
Defence Minister, former National
Security Adviser, General Aliyu Gusau
(rtd) and Director of Military
Intelligence under General Ibrahim
Babangida’s regime, Colonel Alilu Akilu
(rtd), are now in consideration for the
Defence Minister.
THISDAY has learnt that President
Goodluck Jonathan is seriously
considering the two former top security
men because he is desirous of giving
the top job to a strong personality with
the military background to rein in the
armed forces to combat insecurity.
Gusau was Chief of Army Staff during
the Babangida regime and served as
NSA for most of President Olusegun
Obasanjo's civilian regime.
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) has commended President
Jonathan for taking what it called a pro-
active action to upgrade and address
the present security challenges in the
country.
PDP was said to have pushed for Azazi’s
removal, claiming that his loyalty is
suspect because of his remark on April
27 at a summit of the South-South
states in Asaba, Delta State, during
which he blamed the increasing
insecurity in the land on the zoning
policy of the party.
The National Publicity Secretary of the
party, Chief Olisa Metuh, who
applauded the President for the
changes, said: “we as a political party
are very much encouraged by the pro-
active action taken last Friday in the
sack of Azazi”.
He said the President’s action“has
proved that he is on top of the security
challenges in the country. The
President’s action is aimed at curtailing
the violence and insecurity in the
country.
“PDP as a political party has complete
faith in the ability and competence of
President Jonathan to handle affairs of
Nigeria as a country at this critical
time,” Metuh said, while appealing to
Nigerians to give maximum support to
the administration, saying, “God has
given Nigeria a humble and humane
leadership to administer affairs of the
country.”
The PDP spokesman said the security
challenges in Nigeria could have
created a dictator, were another person
to be in charge of affairs of Nigeria.
“This situation could have created a
monster and dictatorship in another
person in Nigeria in the management of
the present security challenges,” Metuh
said.

werepeLeri: You think I didnt understand you?

Thought you didn't.

werepeLeri: LOL. You are right there. The critics are just doing what they do best - even when there is nothing to talk on, they cook one up - its called ANTECEDENTS.

Lets criticise what Nigeria will be in 2020. Come on.

It now looks like a playlist - just push a button and you will begin to hear.

Its your Principal's antecedents to not provide answers to questions that I was referring to.

werepeLeri: LOL - People are already criticising an event that has not even held. LOL.

This is getting serious.

There is a word called ANTECEDENT. Look it up.

Kobojunkie: Abegi! How is that Presidential when we dey get his jester instead?

Last time the man cleverly evaded questions and gave answers to questions not asked. I don't see him doing anything different tomorrow.

Presidential Media Chat holds tomorrow by 7pm

burkutu: Imho,the post of nsa is a very cerebral one. Nigerian army officers whether serving or retired are not known for their intelligence.i just don't understand why the post must be given to an army officer. Dammit,the variables the nsa has to juggle to make strategic decisions goes beyond knowledge of weaponry and deployment of troops ffs.

So until the post is given to a retired Airforce or Naval Officer we won't get it right? Nothing wen persin nor go hear for NL.

Are we now having people who all the while associated Buhari with BH now questioning Azazi's attempt to question him just because Azazi is no longer with GEJ? Suddenly everybody now believes Buhari is clean because GEJ is reported to have refused that he be interrogated.

I will expect a denial from Azazi soon. Can't imagine an NSA talking let this.

Beaf: I'll keep it simple and sweet.

2014
Aregbesola loses his bid for a second term to the PDP due to his gross underperformance. This leads to a domino effect in which Tinubu's defacto number two engaes in a furious legal battle, while the many opponents and enemies he has garnered with his quixotisms and megalomania sieze the opportunity to unleash volleys of poisoned arrows.
The fallout from that lose could prove epic.

2015
Creaking at the seams from the loss of Osun, ACN loses its regional potency and its alliance plans with CPC fray and unravel.
The emotional chasms caused by the choosing of candidates in Ogun and Oyo take as much a toll as the non-performance of their governors (airconditioned footbridges and all). It is well known that the PDP only lost both these states due to internal warfare; even with several PDP men squaring it out using proxy political platforms, the results were still menacingly close. Think what the new found unity of the SW PDP would acheive.
Summary - Ogun and Oyo fall to the PDP with Ekiti not far behind.

Final result:
Osun - PDP
Oyo - PDP
Ogun - PDP
Ekiti - PDP?

There is one proviso in all these permutations. If Edo state falls to the PDP, then give up, 2015 will see ACN go the way of AD.

You finally agree you are for the PDP as long as GEJ is not part of the convo. Once GEJ is remotely linked to this thread you go begin stammer.

DaLover: In your bid to pull a man down by all means, the man is always wrong....

Azazi is sacked...you say he was fired for saying the truth....
Azazi retains office...you say gej is a tribalist that will never fire his ijaw brother.....

When people just yap for the sake of yapping...they end up making themselves irrelevant to the scheme of things...

Can you imagin any body taking shymex, the retardeen crew (dayokanu and dumbdumb), kobojunkie serious whenever they criticize gej?

So what's your point? Those of you who wine and dine with GEJ can you please tell us why he was relieved?

Billyonaire: Its a security strategy, we ofcourse know he will not exterminate his people, but will be forced to do so if they fail to obey their kinsman to stop shedding of blood. If you put another tribes person there, they will tag it tribalism against them. It works every time, let them go speak Hausa and end it or they will get droned out.

The NSA does not command any troop. Let's not get our hopes high.

Beaf: Don't mind that irritating clown.

Nor be you goof for simple mata as the twitter account of Abati? You know nada my friend. You just de form intelligent guy. I officially agree with you that you are not Reno on that score. Dimwitted cun.t

Drones, the saviour of the world. Una too like Adventure for this country.

onatisi: if i may ask how do you know he didnt give them any information before he died ?were you there when he died or do u want sss to come on tv and tell you what he told them before dying?

He gave them nada and you know. Quit living in dream land.

Dasuki, former ADC to Babangida? Hmmmmmm. Beaf go cry for this one.

A terrorist is killed without extracting any info from him and some on here are celebrating? What is the matter with us in this country?

Well, the guy is reported to have died from injuries sustained in the gin battle. All the info he had are gone too. Next mastermind please.

Cassava investment. Abeg make we hear word.

visionsen: When former President Olusegun Obasanjo lambasted the National Assembly a few weeks ago many people called him names some legislators had wanted to protest.The Corruption cases involving the so called Hon. members in Abuja recently has vindicated the elder statesman.
Today, we now know that Obasanjo might have known little more than many of us as he was allegedly privy to the shameful solicitation and collection of a bribe by someone who is ‘famous’ for anti- corruption posturing in the parliament. Even as we wait for the final pronouncements of investigating agencies, it is believed that the unfolding drama in the House of Representatives has exposed the selfish and unpatriotic character of the Nigeria political class and the decay in an institution constitutionally empowered to provide an anti-corruption check on democracy.

Are you people still waiting for OBJ to tell you to prosecute?

Beaf: We are now used to the usual id!ots manufacturing "delegates" each time GEJ travels.
The desperation of election losers and pathetic mud-munchers in Nigeria is really scary.

Have you apologised for accusing people on here for forging Reuben Abati's twitter account? Have you seen the rubbish the @DrReubenabati which you claim is the authentic account is tweeting mocking your principal?

That is not Patrick Obahiagbon's twitter account. His account is @PObahiagbon and he just doesn't "blow" grammar like that parody account.

Kobojunkie: See wayo moves!!! So you don't know the how sef but you come corner me by asking the question which would have been my follow-up . . . ROFLMAO!!

De thing taya me. All the mysteries will hopefully be unraveled in court. I am done with the Police and their gimmicks. let the lawyers add more comedy.

Kobojunkie: But your earlier statement suggestion that it was definitely possible to get a conviction with NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE made available.

What I mean is that even the video evidence itself is not conclusive evidence of Lawan's guilt. Equally the physical cash itself is not conclusive proof either. Evidence must be led to connect the dots. I am just saying that the Police can still proof that bribe was exchanged between Lawan and Otedola. The problem I seem to have is how can it be proved that "A" demanded first and that it was not "B" that actually offered first.

Kobojunkie: You have not seen this video yourself, so I think it will be foolhardy to declare at this time that it will suffice. And we all know what is up with the MARKED Bills. So, how do you prove in court that you gave me $5000 when there is no paper trail or physical evidence?

Just assuming there IS actually a video.

Kobojunkie: Why does the court not need physical evidence?

Because it is not in all cases that the bribe money is available to tender. If I receive 5000 from you and I quickly dissipate it, you can still prove in court that you gave me bribe without mw having to tender the money. The police are just not up to it or are trying to further sensationalise this matter. Assuming FL even returns the 620k in fresh money (not marked) how will the SSS proceed further? That money was marked is only a fact known to the SSS which needs further proof. The said " video" will only show money being exchanged
