Maj.Gen. Ben Ahanotu is the current Chief of Policy and Plans, Nigerian Army.
He occupies the most senior position next to Chief of Army staff

He can be the Next Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) or Chief of Army Staff (COAS)..

The presidency should appoint a new chief of army staff base on seniority..

According to garfield, Major General Abubakar Maikobi is currently the most senior officer in the army.

However, I’m fully supporting the emergence of Ahanotu. If not for anything but for peace in the south east region.

Maikobi is from Kano just like the current Chief of Naval staff. It would be unfair to have the commanders of Nigeria Army and Navy from the same state.

Is this news true or it's an assumption?
I know that Buhari will appoint his junior who is a Muslim from the north so that he will be retired prematurely.

I don't think so o

wishful thinking

Buhari a terrorist, appointing an igbo man as army chief, is like Chelsea winning the champions league this weekend

There's something most of you don't know, becoming a service chief is not only by seniority.

Ahanotu cannot replace Irabor because he is of Course 35.....and Irabor is of Course 34. Technically, his Senior.

Ahanotu is a close friend and confidante of Attahiru....a relationship that have lasted a long time. But he is from Anambra.

Sharham is of 35 running 36 but he has an issue....he is from Kano, the same State as the Defence Minister & Chief of Naval Staff.
That knocks him out.

Yusuf Manu is from Yobe.....he is knocked off cos he is 37.
The President will not go below 36 if at all he wants a favoured person. The IGP is from Yobe....difficult.

Same problem with Yahaya and Alli-Keffi who are on 37 and 38 respectively. They are Out.

Okonkwo is on 35 but he is from Imo. Mainly an administrative man.

There are others as well but Aliyu seems to balance everywhere....he is 36 and from Gombe.

Buhari should do well to leave it with someone from 35. Becoming a Service Chief is strictly political, aided by geographical zone and not by seniority.

garfield1....

PS: Major-General AS Maikobi is far junior to Ahanotu.

Maikobi is Course 36 whilst Ahanotu is Course 35.

Maikobi is from Kano and faces the same problem as Sharham.

Ahanotu can still replace attahiru ... Baa

Yes..but it lies with the President....Experience has taught us not to raise hopes.

Whomever is your COAS...must be someone you trust implicitly. That man is the man that can take you out so technically, he is your guardian angel.

The last batch of Service Chiefs were;
CDS - SW
IGP - NC
CNS - SS
CAS - NE
COAS - NE

Present Batch;
CDS - SS
Ag. IGP - NE
CAS - SW
CNS - NW
COAS - ? (place a bet)

Would place my bet on North Central...NC .. I'd there is any senior officer from there... Definitely won't be SE

I suspect buhari might give it to the ss/se.what about shodunke,e.n udoh,roger Nicholas,p bogie,ejemai,duru,ode,b oyefeso,j orokpo,a.m.sabo,j s Malu,dikko who are direct course mates of late attahiru? Have they retired or still in service?

Is ahanotu the most senior in course 35? How can he be 35 like attahiru when attahiru became major general in 2015 and ahanotu in 2017?

Anyway,in terms of service chiefs,seniority counts more than political consideration

If truly this your new found love for SE is genuine,God bless you but if not,your fake love wont fetch you any honour cos we know about your history in bigotry against SE like your Buhari but meanwhile God bless you.
