Buhari, Service Chiefs and the Law: Reading the Commander-in-Chief’s mind vanguardnews

the nation witnessed the type of animated controversy generated by the call to sack or retain Service Chiefs.

However, the vexed issues of insecurity of lives and property, wanton killings, herdsmen attacks and intransigence, kidnappings, astronomical rise in banditry and the unending Boko Haram terrorism have gotten Nigerians’ patience stretched to the tipping point, hence the attack on both Buhari and the Service Chiefs with many calling on the President to sack them.

“The security architecture of Nigeria is overstretched and is no longer effective. We are told that the current strength of the Nigeria Police is about 300,000 to police about 200million people”, one senator added.

Though in the military, it is generally known that the aspiration of every career officer is to attain the position of a Major General, as any promotion or appointment after that is political, like the Service Chiefs. Section 11.09 stipulates – The foregoing notwithstanding, the President, C-in-C reserves the prerogative to extend the tenure of a CDS/Service Chief irrespective of his age or length of service.
