Who Is The Chief Of Defence Staff, Where Is He & Why Does Nobody Talk About Him? by rmckinneh: 8:37am On Mar 24, 2018
Please, why is the current Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) so quiet and almost invisible in the scheme of things. All we hear in the news is Buratai this, Buratai that, but we hardly hear anything about his boss, the CDS? Is he really in control of the Nigerian military or has the Buhari-Buratai clique put him on the sidelines?

When the country is run by the northern oligarchy, there is not much a southerner can do in the scheme of things.

The office of the CDS is a ceremonial office which overseas the affairs of the military but lacks much influence on any.

You're right. More of an administrative position really. He doesn't have troops under his direct command. Those who know him closely say he's a fine gentleman and RCCG Pastor. Doesn't like the limelight.

The next CDS will come from the Navy.
It's rotational, according to the Armed Forces Act.

I tend to disagree with you chief of defence staff are usually quite I don't know why, was Azazi a chief of defence staff? I know during Obj Azazi was the chief of army staff then GEJ time national security adviser and was in the news more than the chief of defence staff which happens to be late Martin Luther Agwai not 100% sure if he was the one then or during Yar'adua. Then during Yar'adua Abdulrama Danbazzua was chief of Army staff I am sure he was popular than the defence chief. Then GEJ time Ihejirika and Minimah were the chief of army staff, I am sure defence staff chief then were also silent. Another example is in government deputy governor is higher than speaker but speaker is more popular and a times more powerful than deputy in the state, a case example was when Amaechi was speaker every commissioners were loyal to him. Every day you hear speakers names in the news my state deputy governor in Rivers you barely hear her name in the news but that doesn't make him a lesser person than the speaker.
