Breaking News: Buhari Sacks More Than 200 Eastern Army loyal To Jonathan by chairo: 12:45am

[i][/i]There embarassed are indications on Friday, June 11, 2016 that about 200 military officers may have been sacked by the federal government through text messages (SMS) over their alleged loyalty to former President Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 general elections.

They affected officers were said to have been carefully selected for backing Jonathan during the last 2015 general election.

Further checks in the military establishment in Abuja, also hinted that military officers who were believed to be loyal to the former national security adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki were also affected in the mass sacking.

The list showed that they were mainly from the South East, South South and a small percentage of them were from the North Central region of the country.

The development which is already causing some ripples in the military, according to political analysts, could cost the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration public goodwill.

A source said, “It is being seen as an act of ethnic card to checkmate those officers who were seen as posing danger to the Federal Government and it was resolved in the Presidency that they should be weeded out.”

But the concern as some observers also said was the implication of the sack on the psyche of the military institution and the public which was felt capable of truncating the nation’s democracy as the “systematic sacking “ of over 200 top military officers mainly from the southern part of the country was a decision difficult to defend by the federal government.

“The affected officers were sent text messages relieving them of their jobs and they were directed to pick their sack letters at specific locations without any reason given for terminating their appointments,” said a source in the Presidency which pleaded anonymity.

According to the source, the move allegedly masterminded by “some hawks“ in the presidency was aimed at weeding out all officers who were perceived to be loyal to the last regime and deemed to have played one role or the other favourable to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in the last presidential election.

“The game plan is to remove all vestiges of the old regime, particularly those officers considered to be too intelligent and smart to challenge the status quo.

“Buhari is weary of being toppled a second time, given his ugly past experience. But unknown to him, this latest move of indiscriminate sacking of senior and middle level officers has divided the military and created rumblings in some quarters”, the source stated.

Is Buhari preparing ground for Genocide in the SS/ SE AND MIDDLE BELT?

Nigeria no longer has a national Army, Buhari seems to have established an AREWA ARMY.

This government is heading to some where that is looking appalling.

Where is the list ?

First it was Grazing land for Fulani in all Nigeria now Only Muslim Army, I weep for my dear country becos Buhari is a disaster.

ruggedchap:



Where is the list ?

you haven't seen it? Check obj yansh. I swear dis must be a zombie.

The Army should have a quota system no region should be over represented.

It is Oil money from SOUTH SOUTH that is used to pay the Army so why should people from Katsina, Kano, Sokoto and Borno take everything.

If things are done properly, President have no business sacking anybody from the army. Each region will have their service quota.

This action is unconstitutional and must be challenged at the Supreme Court. The officers must be reinstated immediately. nonsense!

Bubuhari is a disaster

it is the court that will sack and confirm appointment.

Political Army that will commit genocide against a particular region is the last thing Nigeria need. We don't need more division. If Buhari and all the Cabal that have held this country at its knees don't die, their wont be progress. Buhari must die for us to progress.

Make dem come join Niger Delta Avengers, or float another millant group. Buhari go suffer. Check my dp.

The affected senior army officers know where to channel their greiviances if they feel they are unfairly retired.

with all dis movies playing out and still this fool of a president still keeps ripping the country apart and dividing every one against one another,...

I see this once loved NIGERIA @ D FACE OF ITS APOCALIPS...the end is near,...ipob and massob in the south east, boko haram in the north, and NDA millitant down SS...no matter how powerfull a gorvernment is ,i sincerly doubt if it can fight against 3 opposing force at once..i feel for nigeria cos i dont see a ONE NIGERIA in the possible nearest future rather i see ken saro wiwa words coming to pass..[color=blue]AND GENERATIONS YET UNBORN WILL SURELY SEE THEIR ATTROCITIES...RISE UP AND FIGHT FOR THE FREEDOM OF UR LAND. ...its a pity this nepotistic dullard keeps ignoring the other's and favouring a particular side,...Johnathan was not a man to write home about, but he never did such an act.

where is the list with the names?
Nigerian President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua has ordered the retirement of 40 of the army's most senior generals.
They include the commanders of the five divisions of the Nigerian army.

Nigeria has been ruled by the military for 30 of the 47 years since independence but a coup is no longer likely, a BBC correspondent says.

Mr Yar'Adua was sworn in in May - the first time one elected leader had handed power to another but the elections were widely condemned.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo ordered a similar purge of the army shortly after his inauguration in 1999.

Mr Obasanjo, himself a beneficiary of a 1975 coup, said he wanted to rid Nigerian military of its penchant for plotting coups.

But the military says Mr Yar'Adua's motives for approving the retirement of 40 top generals are different this time.

"We are now following due process and trying to go back to the best military traditions," Nigerian defence spokesman Col MD Yusuf told the BBC News website.

"There is nothing abnormal about that number of officers being retired. If they joined the army at the same time, isn't it normal that they'd attain retirement age at the same time too?"

Mr Obasanjo became Nigeria's first democratically elected president after 16 years of military rule in 1999.



Obasanjo's aides are preparing a list of hundreds of officers – out of a corps of perhaps 6,000 – to be retired, said a Nigerian military source who asked not to be named. The military is estimated to number 80,000 soldiers, although Nigerian and Western analysts say thousands probably are "ghosts" – troops who don't exist, but whose paychecks are collected by corrupt officers.

"All officers who served for six months or more in political posts" – as ministers, state governors, heads of government agencies and state-owned companies – will get retirement orders, the source said. Lower-ranking officers who served as aides or assistants to those men will get them, too, sources said.

Obasanjo and his new military chiefs are expected to conduct the purge quickly. "I would be surprised if we don't see this weeding out done within two months," said Anselm Okolo, an editor in Abuja, the capital, for the Nigerian weekly news magazine, Tell.

Nigerians' worries of a military coup have eased with Obasanjo's inauguration. After Abacha's death last June 8, his successor, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, retired Abacha's closest aides and led the shift to elected rule. More senior figures from the Abacha years resigned on May 29 with Abubakar.

Within hours of taking office, Obasanjo named chiefs of the Nigerian army, navy and air force who never had held political posts.

The new president – who ruled in the late 1970s and then handed power back to civilians – declared in his inaugural address that, "as a retired officer, my heart bleeds to see the degradation in the proficiency of the military. A great deal of reorientation has to be undertaken" including "retraining and reeducation . . . to ensure that the military submits to civil authority and regains its pride, professionalism and traditions."

..

My only joy is dat we are in a democracy. Simple court order will reinstate the officers. Imbalance in the Army is a catalyst for genocide against the regions. Buhari is not well, wen he dies wat next? It is harder to hold power up North in a democracy. Soldier go, Soldier come. Buhari is wasting Nigeria time as he focuses on Northernisation agenda. There is no change just return to the past. backwardness!

If this report is true, I bet you this government cannot contain the outcome.
The subordinates from the region of those affected will definitely support the sacked officers.

Apc is making their government ungovernable by themselves

Na you count am?

MD people aren't flattered that you remember them for your myopic anti Buhari rants.

the result of having a cancer patient as your ruler

I don't know why it's taking the Mods time to close or delete this useless thread created by an embittered Ugandan. I don't know why most of you always feel that people here are illiterates like you.

Fear! Fear! Wat are u running from? U got something u want to hide? The news is everywhere, the consequences are coming. Don't start running wen nothing is pursing you. Wat will be ur faith once Buhari successfully destroys Nigeria? Nigeria is not even respected as a country?

I pasted the link. Have you finished reading and you are too shocked to understand ? Wake up my brother and condemn what is bad. The number of wailers are increasing daily, dont get stucked in bias love for Mr. President. True love is when you tell a friend in the face; "You are wrong".

You can only be more daft if you believe it is a mere retirement. Guess who are major culprit in 2015, it cant be the soldiers who supported Buhari, it can only be soldiers who supported GEJ, so guess where such people should be from.

End is Near my dear friend. By sacking these high ranking officers in the name of pre-mature retirement, Buhari has manufactured wonderful merceneries for the rival army of the opposition.

2nd right dicision made by d govt

Whose end my friend ... All you apostles of hate, elections have come and gone... Dust ur ass and get to work and leave the government to do its own work, in 2019 you can choose to vote the way u did (that's if you voted at all) in 2015 and maybe then your "increasing wailing ranks" may just make up a sizable number enough to shift the pendulum.

The commander in chief has the authority to dismiss any soldier as long as due process is followed. They were sacked not because of their ethnicity but because they acted dishonorably. It is an excellent decision that was long overdue

We need evidence SS/SE AND NORTH CENTRAL Officers acted wrongly, not speculations from a cancer patient still in London.

The Army is not Buhari Army but Nigeria Army governed by the Nigerian Constitution. Army salary don't come from Buhari personal account and pocket. SS/SE AND NORTH CENTRAL cannot continue to pay people from Kano, Sokoto and Borno not massacre and commit genocide in their region.

Buhari either reinstate the Officers to ensure a balance in the northern over populated/ dominated army or face the consequences. If Buhari have not learnt by now, their are always consequences for his action. Every single one.

No you are not even as I know that you can't. But my point remains instead of this attempt at wiping up unfounded sentiments, I wld encourage you to channel your energy to gainful ventures with immediate returns and leave this for its appropriate time.
