Talking about tact is like asking Boko Haram to kidnap young girls and treat them with tact and diplomacy.

They see Nigeria as their conquered territory, Uthman dan Foolio's estate. Ahmadu Bello did not mince words saying so.

Until Southerners fully realise and resist it, the slimy Northern elite will keep using us. But they have used religious imperialism to subjugate a large enough section of the SW to always use to achieve their aim.

I'm telling you..its really annoying to watch people from the South (especially the minorities) delude themselves this much. El - Rufai who claimed to be homeless and penniless some years back has declared assets worth N90billion and over 40 mansions in Abuja, Kaduna and Kano. Like seriiooousssly?? Yet the people from the Niger Delta are the thieves?? Mogbe!!

arabianights:
Really? so .......exactly what has Nigeria been reduced to?

Oh please. ..spare me your ignorance

All appointments after March 31, we all know what that means, GEJ and PDP made alot of strategic moves after losing dat election btw April 1st and may 28, all that need to be reversed, more to come

Took the words right out of my mouth. Elections were held March 28. By March 31st President GET had conceded defeat, and suddenly promotions were issued in the DSS and Ogar is of on a 3 year study leave. Something doesn't smell right. Due process may have been followed, but were the promotions on merit or just settlement for loyalty to the last government.

Anyway, a committee has been set up to review the promotions. Let's wait for the outcome.

DSS is seriously compromised the day they pitched tent with PDP and they started witch hunting APC candidates and ransacking their offices. A prestigious organisation that was supposed to be apolitical became an instrument of intimidation for PDP. It's a shame, those behind that should all be probe by a panel of integrity and professional ethic...

murtalaa:
I fully support this move. It was clear to everyone that Ogar's action in the last dispensation was less than professional. Rewarding her with a promotion and 3-year "extended leave" will be making a mockery of the institution of common decency.

So bringing back a retired personnel to head the DSS is VERY PROFESSIONAL and making an UPGRADE of the institution of common decency?? Making a Northern Pharmacist the boss in INEC is VERY DECENT?? This is the change...a change from civility to absolute lack of common sense

gleaf:
This is a dangerous trend its so obvious that Buhari is planning with hunt against some people. We should not be playing politics with our secret police;I believe this action will unearth alot of unpleasant stories and allegations.......too bad

There is nothing of such here. Besides the fact that Marlyn threw caution and professionalism into the wind, she allowed herself to be used as an attack dog by the PDP against the opposition. She forgot that nemesis will still catch up with her.

This is just the beginning. We are in a long season movie which only the strong-hearted will finish it. Expect more of this across government ministries, agencies and parastatals.

Change is here!!!

GEJs administration is the past. ..preach this due process gospel to the government of the day. Buhari has been more reckless in just one month than GEJ has been for 5years

keep demoting sss - dss staff, while bko haram are recruiting and killing more everyday.... PMB you just have misplaced priorities very shameful... this explains why u cant order the killing of any boko haram memeber.

She only has herself to blame. She was partisan during the campaign.

The Department of State Service (DSS) seems to be in trouble already as some policy reversals which operatives consider as “witch-hunt” are being implemented just four days after a new Director General took over.

The DG Lawal Daura has, for instance suspended promotions done this year in the Service which were approved by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Sources in the administration said that the former Spokesman of DSS, Marylyn Ogar who got an approval to proceed on three years study leave during the tenure of the former DG, Ita Ekpeyong has been asked to return to the country immediately.

A source who clarified the process of promotion in the Service however said on Saturday that “promotions in the DSS are recommended by the Service, forwarded to the National Security Adviser, who ratifies and then forwards to the President for approval.

The source said: “All these steps were followed. These promotions were duly approved by immediate ex- President Goodluck Jonathan before they were effected. It is difficult to prove any lapses or irregularities in that process because the incumbent DG, Daura, was also a beneficiary of a similar exercise when ex-DG, Ekpenyong Ita promoted him to the post of a Director at the twilight of his career shortly before he retired from Service.”

President Buhari in a circular approved the reversal of all promotions in the DSS approved by the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan from March 31.

A memo released to operatives of the secret police and signed by Toma Minti on behalf of the DG indicated that President Muhammadu Buhari had spotted “observed lapses” in the promotions released from March 31 and has accordingly directed a suspension.

The personnel affected include those promoted, converted and upgraded within the period under review. They are, therefore, to revert to their former ranks with immediate effect.”

It was gathered that panic has already gripped operatives of the Service, following allegations of a possible witch hunt as it was said that some departments, including the Public Relations and the Institute for Security Studies were being already penciled for certain actions.

The memo directed all affected personnel to revert to the old ranks while a committee was constituted to review all cases.

“If President Buhari had actually ordered the suspension, then he must have been grossly misled. Come around and sample the opinions of my colleagues and you would be amazed at such low morale that pervades the Service since the release of the circular”, another operative said.

Leader of BBOG- Chief of staff, and lot of criminal characters from the North smiling away with juicy positions with their goro stained teeth for setting up the biggest scam in Nigeria

Na Bsc INFORMATION AND STATE SECURITY she wan go read to take her 3 years

Madam if you are not in the next plane back here in Nigeria

Na handcuff them go take bring you back here....Months before the last administration left,they ordered wuruwuru contracts an promotions...

What were they thinking

VickyRichmond:
Buhari is acting completely childish,hw does bringing Ogar back from study leave improve his security?Instead of tackling our economic problems head on,and appointing ministers to implement good economic policies that will improve our well being,he is canceling promotions and calling ppl back from study leave.Is that what he was sent there to do?

.

Beside let me ask you one question did you vote for buhari? For your information that's what we sent him to do.

Belief me that the whole govt actions and inactions btw dat Mar 31 and may 28 was done as part of a scheme to create a problem for the new govt cos they know that the new govt will surely want to reverse a lot of things and it will cause oppositions in a lot of quarters, therefore setting them against the quarters, but any which way PMB has got to do the right things if this govt nd nation must move forward

Daura dullardpo is on vengeance mission while forgetting his campaign promises, no wonder Nigeria is stagnant while boko run amock killing n maiming at will.

nagoma:
Those last minute promotions were mischievous and a reward for the open partisanship of the organization. Marilyn Ogar was a vehement and fiery supporter and mouthpiece of the PDP. She was not working for the Nigerian state.

i guess u took this out of me....Well observed, well said!!!

temitemi1:
Let the witch hunting continue... Pple will witch hunt u wn u leave the office too

yea wot goes around comes around

Axis313:
My opinion,they should just sack her instead of making her go through such humiliation.
She will now be doing yes sir for her former juniors/subordinates.

Last time I could remember, she still reserves the right to resign and disengage herself from the service to avoid further humiliation. It's too much witch hunting to sack such figure, u simply make her see a thousand reasons to resign from the job

Fine woman though. .but her body language an utterances betrayed her natural beauty,sorry. .her national duty

But then this wat u get when institutions are built around individuals,they use personal ego to achieve their aim.
We must build institutions that are bigger than any individual,including the presidency,because in the finality,its "soldier go ,soldier come" but barrack remain. Like Obam wud say "Africa needs strong institutions not strong men. " the likes of Jonathan was an opposite of such.

I cant believe someone would say this, which is better cleansing the system and making examples of offenders before the new officials are installed or just piling them up? Even the new about to be appointed ministers will learn to be careful that things have changed. I dont blame PMB o. This is the real change.

Shutup and watch him do his job, he promised to fumigate this country and he is just starting u are shouting. What if he just order for their arrest without questions u will call him tyrant. We will be there Mr president am watching slowly and keenly and I will never make any comment against this administration until I can cumulative their report card a year into this tenor.

Foolish people will continue to clap over this until the daura cattle rearer and bh sympathizer gave them the final blow then they know his motive for all this first it was removing m military from the road so that by will have easy access second it was transferring bh to anambra to open branch and now it is time to demoralize our secret police

Its not so much about PDP or any other party.,but the individuals that make such. I mean what do say to those who left PDP an came to APC an are now causing crisis in the party?
Even a APC as a party is yet to get to grip with realities of governance especially in the centre

Tell ur father to shut up, u Bastard.

Doing his work means witch hunting ppl Who took orders from d commander in chief right? When He leaves another president will witch hunt those that took his orders.

U don't know government is a continuum, is this witchhunt the top in his priority? Boko haram are wasting lives daily and ur god is confused on what to do, today dollar is 235 naira, am sure u r unemployed n have not gotten ur 5k.

Slave boy

Somebody wrote on same issue sometimes ago that the promotion was shrouded in secrecy ...where have they gotten all is well sermon that they put on this page today. The c in c knows more than we do in any case. Orga was very unprofessional in the day she discharged her duty in the service during the reign of the former president .. She threw professionalism to the dustbin & went gaga. Now to save her face they approved three years study leave for her..Yeye people,who did they wantto fool ? That approval was for a job well done. She aren't seen anything yet.. I don't know why our force men have refused to learn from the experience of Abacha. They behave like small babies anytime they are close to the corridor of power.

Her badluck has affected the genuinely promoted officers now. What a great disgrace to SSS. Hope people learn from this.

Young man I got ur x-ray report. Now u know why u are such Jackass

Rawani:
Our secret police has never been as politicised as it was under the last administration, with the brazen show of partisanship which led to their invasion and raid of an office belonging to the opposition party at the time. Ogar also made several unsavory comments about the APC and it's leaders.

What's happening in the DSS is the restoration of order, it's not about the regularity of the promotion process but if the promotions were merited and the basis upon which they were given.

The past administration did a lot havoc.

3 years study leave? ...On whose expense? This country is being bleeped under different guise.
