President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) Martin Abeshi to immediately vacate his seat as the number one officer of the service.

our correspondent exclusively gathered this morning that the president has come under pressure to take the decision as a result of imbalance in the federal character policy among the heads of agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior.

Abeshi who head Immigration service hails from Nassarawa state in the north-central, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence (NSCDC)’s Comptroller General Abdullahi Gana hails from Niger state, the Controller General of Federal Fire Service (FFS) Eng. Anebi also hails from Benue state in the North-central while only Peter Ezenwa Ekpendu of the Nigeria Prison Service (NPS) who retired today from the service comes from the Imo state South-east region.

It was also gathered that the Immigration CG ought to have retire since last year December but lobbied his way back to the seat.

our reporter learnt that the decision to sack the Abeshi has been a welcome development to some of the DCGs and the ACGs who were said to have been denied opportunity to rise as a result of Abeshi’s continuity in office.

Sorry case.

A mallam maybe from North East will take over in both prison and Immigration. Forget Federal character story his tenure has long ended.

Oga we have gone past the era where you have to be begged to stay in office, after your retirement

It was also gathered that the Immigration CG ought to have retire since last year December but lobbied his way back to the seat.

How did this happen?

That Dambazzau aswerigod is a recruitment error.

Humans and sit tight

Sit tight officer! Maybe there was 1 final piece of yam that the goat was targeting if not why lobby "TO NOT RETIRE?" When that is the period everyone looks forward to?

Lalasticlala ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It is Well

People are complaining about the current lack of Jobs and u're adding to the Tally :-/

Another vacancy for the Northerners. But i think the position should be given to the SE in view of the fact that no igbo have headed such position before.
This marginalization must stop. For Gods sake the igbos are part of Nigeria and not an outcast or slaves and must be carried along.
I have no doubt in my heart that PMB will cede the position this time to the SE because Buhari loves the SE so much.
God bless PMB

The man was due for retirement and must never be attributed to PMB trying in any way to correct the imbalance in ministry of interior. If thats the case,then we shld expect more heads of parastals to leave their post in the coming days because the present government is so skewed against some zones,that even the president ardent supporters are worried that the president appears to be so bias and nepotic.
In few days time,you will hear the name of the new appointee and it is going to be the usual suspects,that explains 'one Nigeria' to them.

The govt of strange birds fellows, dis is wat happens when things are not properly planned
