Two wrongs dont make aright

218. (1) The powers of the President as the Commissioner-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federation shall include power to determine the operational use of the armed forces of the Federation.

(2) The powers conferred on the President by subsection (1) of this section shall include power to appoint the Chief of Defence staff, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Naval Staff, the Chief of Air Staff and heads of any other branches of the armed forces of the Federation as may be established by an Act of the National Assembly.

(3) The President may, by directions in writing and subject to such conditions as he think fit, delegate to any member of the armed forces of the Federation his powers relating to the operational use of the Armed Forces of the Federation.



Sorry sir,that is what the constitution specifies

Nice... E dun red for IPOB and Boko Haram terrorists!

Only if you guys know who Major General Ibrahim Attahiru is... According to a source in the US secret service, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru played a vital role in the demise of Osama Bin Laden... He was subsequently wooed by the US, but he turned down the offer, insisting he's committed to the Federal Republic of Nigeria..

A Mighty Man of Valor - this man, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru...

God bless you boss!
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

How come the feat was not repeated in mafia dole.

BecomeALandLord:


Oh ethnicity has to come into it.
That's because Nigeria is not a one ethnic country.
Every appointment has to be equal and spread across all ethnic groups.

A northerner just vacated the post, it's wise to bring in someone from the west, south or east.

its a very sensitive post and the president has the absolute power to choose whom he sees fit regardless of religion or ethnicity. U can only give those kinda sensitive post to a very loyal person u trust so I c no fault in what he did. Let's just hope n pray that this change brings the much anticipated peace in the north east and Nigeria at large. We want peace regardless of tribe n religion. May God bless us with peace.

hmmmm

See this one! So he was that efficient, but was changed barely six months after he was appointed theatre commander of operation lafiya dole due to underperformance.
Tell us something new abeg..!

You lie sir.can you point out anywhere in the constitution where it said that the service chiefs must be screened by nass? Has there been in a time since 1960 when nass screened service chiefs! Do you realize that the constitution supercedes even the ruling of that funny high court judge?

I beg to dissident sir though i am not very cognizant with the Constitutional inflows and inplays but you sure would also not be more proficient in this matter than Mr falana

you might want to do a little check and evaluation on
Section 218

And while doing so i urge you to have an hankering and appetency to want to learn without sentiments

Please read the above and compare it with the sections that talks about appointment of ministers,cjn and ambassadors which clearly states that the president must seek senate approval.dont forget the constitution supercedes court rulings or any subsidiary law like the armed forces law.falana cannot know more than the legion of sans advising gej and pmb since 2021..the president is right here,that judgment is tantamount to judicial rascality or madness.only the supreme court has the power to settle such constitutional matters which has ambiguities. But unfortunately,this matter is unambiguous,it is clear and the supreme court has ruled in favour of the status quo in similar cases.it is tantamount to legislative usurpation of executive powers

Do a constructively religious study on the 2pt 1

219 of the Constitution. then follows by
providing thus: ” The National Assembly shall
– (a) in giving effect to the functions specified
in S.217 of this Const.; and (b) with respect to
the powers exercisable by the President under
S. 218 of this Constitution, by an Act, establish
a body which shall comprise such members as
the National Assembly may determine, and
which shall have power to ensure that the
composition of the armed forces of the
Federation shall reflect the federal character of
Nigeria in the manner prescribed in the said
Section 217 of this Constitution.”
Part VII of the Armed Forces Act, Cap A20,
Vol. 1, LFN, 2004 provides for
administration, government and command of
the armed forces. S.18 ( 1&2) of the Armed
Forces Act governs the appointment of the
service chiefs. It states that ” the President,
may , after consultation with the Chief of
Defence Staff and subject to confirmation by the
National Assembly, appoint such officers ( in
this Act referred to as ” the Service Chiefs”) as
he thinks fit, in whom the command of the
Army, Navy and Air Force, as the case may

The above provision is from the constitution.it supercedes any other law like the armed forces act or court judgment.infact,any other law that is in conflict with the constitution is null and void.if the constitution wanted senate confirmation of service chiefs,it would have done so like in the case of ministers,chief justice or ambassadors.this debate is over

Sorry sir,you are talking nonsense.buhari has clearly followed the law here,it is you that is being deceived by falana.read section 147 and section 231 which deals with the appointment of ministers and chief justice respectively,it clearly stated that those appointment are subject to senate confirmation.also look at section 154 which deals with appointment of members of several agencies like police council,njc,fcc etc and also look at section 238 and 249.dealing with appointment of heads of appeal and high courts.senate onfirmation is clearly specified.if the framers of the constitution wanted senate confirmation for service chiefs,they would have clearly stated so unambiguously...the whole of section 217 to 219 made no mention of that.
Infact,you misunderstood and misapprehended the intendment of section 219.it clearly stated that in pursuant to 217 and 218,the nass can through an act establish a body to make sure that the appointment of service chiefs reflect federal character.in my own thinking,the federal character commission takes care of that.this does not equate to nass screening...infact if you read subsection 3 of section 217,it also stated that the officer corps appointment should reflect federal character which leads us to 219.
Talking about the armed forces act,it is a settled law that any act that is inconsistent with the constitution is null and void.this applies to any court ruling also.take precedence from the 2020 judgment which freed orji uzor kalu where a provision of the acja was nullified by the supreme court for conflicting with the constitution....

Finally sir,when it comes to screening of appointees in the national assembly,only the senate do this.the house of reps do not screen appointees.if you look at the whole constitution, senate is carefully used when their confirmation is used.the common phrase is"the president will appoint subject to senate confirmation ".but when it comes to law making or making of any act,the word national assembly is used.you can spot the difference..subsection 2 of section 218 also states that the president will have the powers to appoint the heads of any other new security force that may enacted by the senate..
