Army Confirm COAS Lagbaja's Leave, Appoints Abdulsalami Bagudu Acting Chief by Dapromzy333(op): 6:02pm On Oct 20, 2024
The Nigerian Army has confirmed that its Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, is on leave amid reports of his incapacitation due to health concerns, News360 Nigeria reports

Army spokesperson, Onyema Nwachukwu, assured the public that there will be no leadership vacuum during Lagbaja’s absence, as Major General Abdulsalami Ibrahim, the Army’s Chief of Policy and Plans, will act on his behalf. Nwachukwu emphasized that the COAS’s leave will not disrupt the army’s operations, as there are established processes in place to ensure smooth continuity.

The confirmation followed reports of Lagbaja’s health condition, although the Army has not disclosed specific details about his current situation.

According to Nwachukwu: “There have even been insinuations that there is a leadership vacuum, with officers confused about what to do. Nothing could be further from the truth.

“To be very clear, the Nigerian Army is a highly structured establishment with well-laid-out procedures and processes for dealing with different circumstances.

“Before proceeding on leave, necessary protocols were put in place for the Chief of Policy and Plans (Army), Major General Abdulsalami Bagudu Ibrahim, to act on behalf of the COAS while he was away.

“Claims of a leadership vacuum in the NA at present are therefore mere speculation, as all routine and scheduled activities of the service are on course.”

I think there is also a governor that was hit with stroke two weeks ago and he refused to handover to his deputy.

A whole military, you dey go "leave" just like that.

How many "qualified" people must resign this week for a preferred replacement to be found? We shall find out.

He's likely dead or incapacitated/suffering stroke. A whole military can't go on leave for ONE FULL MONTH

He went on leave for a month but it took you guys the rumours of his sickness or even possible death to announce his leave and acting officer?
