How's he first acting COAS?

The loss of General Lagbaja is a big loss to Nigeria. To be sincere, General Oluyede need to step up his game and ensure insecurity is nip in the bud.

If he reach your turn no appoint your people. Go appoint Igbira

He's incapable to make any significant progress.

For these sacks,Tinubu deserves commendation.
It was long overdo because the security situation was getting worse.
But I feel it was the growing pressure and noises being made in the US that forced the president's hands because they felt once the noises got through to trump and he acts,no one can predict what action he may take that may include restricting families of government officials from travelling to the US,exposing and imposing sanctions on their assets,the fear of the average Nigerian politician with all their ill gotten wealth that they like enjoying in foreign western countries especially.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

We saw the resurgence of boko haram under him as the COAS, rise in terrorism, in my opinion he was supposed to be removed his appointment reeks of nepotism and tribalism

Hian, wetin Obi Apga Bianca Lp Ojukwu Obidients Azikiwe ADC , Elrufai the green snake 🐍 do you Hahaha 😂

This putsch story look true. Fear of bad governance. Let us laugh a little bit.

The changing of service chiefs is what it means when Tinubu said the nation's security bucks stops at president's table.
