The Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, appears to have taken sides with Abba Kyari in the chief of staff’sagainst the national security adviser, Babagana Monguno, PREMIUM TIMES can report based on fresh documents and knowledgeable officials.
Mr Monguno was away from the country at the time of the postings, our sources said, but he rejected the entire exercise as a charade upon his return and ordered the personnel to disregard Mr Buratai’s directive and remain in place. Other than core intelligence analysts of non-uniform career, the NSA, which coordinates all intelligence and security agencies of the Nigerian government, has always been staffed largely by personnel from security and law enforcement agencies in the country, according to officials familiar with its personnel practice.
“But it has to be in liaison with the NSA before officers could be changed or withdrawn,” the source said. “This is because it takes a cumbersome process to vet personnel before they are admitted at the NSA and some requirements have to be satisfied before they are posted out.”Mr Monguno returned to the country in the middle of the postings between February 4 and 10.
The confrontation marks one of the most damaging fallout of a ceaseless animosity between the NSA and Mr Kyari, a former journalist and banker now widely considered the most powerful associate of the president. commending them for a great service and citing the need to maintain existing approach to tackling insecurity, especially the ongoing war against Boko Haram.
The MBuhari Presidency portends real danger to Nigeria because he lacks capacity & consequently rules by proxies. That, therefore, leaves room for in-fighting, since the President is not really in charge. As usual, this fundamental issue is being treated as a storm in a tea cup.
I was thinking I will read something new. Smh. Next...
Everybody is government in this country oo
Time shall tell.
A 'kakistocracy' is a system where the government is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. Sad
Jikan_Katuma
These are they people running the country. That's the reason the can't be sacked. In actual fact they are they president.
OK OK.
Is becoming clearer why security chiefs can't be replaced. Scratch my back and I scratch your back politics in corridors of power is in full glare. These are people that came to fight corruption.
Mr Buratai ke... Lol They're coming to break ur legs
Boko guys in govt
It is very glaringly clear who plays what and where the loyalty of individual and entities lies;Mugono's proposition is seriously fighting back at him.Reasons Abba Kyari remains a demi- god, in this govt.See how Boko-Haram wahala is dividing the presidency.
Nigeria is sinking, You people should devide this country let everyone go
Nigeria is doomed
It is not unusual to have rifts arise within a president’s cabinet. Similar incidences have happened within Trump and Obama’s cabinet. So Buhari’s team is no different. They are all working to achieve a common goal which is to end insecurity in the country.
Nothing is a surprise, but caution must be exercised.
Buhari is 'major general buhari' but Buratai is 'Mr. Buratai'. One day you people shall have sense
Good move
This are the people that is president not that man remote control
Twenty-three army officers serving at the ONSA were posted out without being replaced in two batches on February 4 and 10, documents showed.
adeyanjudeji A cursed nation. Service Chiefs, NSA, Chief of Staff, Jubril of Sudan. Bla Bla Bla
things fall apart

AddaSawdah Petty old men

As expected...
You can defence ABBA in order to seek for more synergy with Unelected president.
He's afraid
All I will say is Nigeria is gone.
Obvious leaks are coming from the office of d NSA. That's highly unprofessional and dangerous
A very CONFUSED COUNTRY AND SYSTEM. That is the definition of NIGERIA.
They are completely bent on destroying all credible institutions. INEC. gone NASS. gone Police. gone Army cornered Etc etc
Popcorn please
I will do the same, Abba Kyari is the President of Nigeria. May God destroy this people and their interest before they destroy this country.
There's serious trouble in this country, those who said Buhari is not in charge are right. Thank God the enemies are beginning to fight themselves and they are beginning to open each other anus
The triangle Kanuri brotherly war....Kyari, Monguno, Buratai and Boko Haram are all Kanuris. Thanks to Buhari's ethno-religious security appointments.
Of course. You can't speak against your boss.
Expected
Am sure if ordinary Benin Republic invades NIGERIA now... We would be conquered In 3 weeks... No wonder Boko Haram is suspiciously wining
CIRCUS! WAY OUT👇👇👇
What would be left of our institutions after 2023? I weep for my dear nation
Buhari:
When the Commander-in-travel is unable to put his feet down...infighting ensues
🤦🏽♂️
