Still, it is important to respond to this fictitious “story” lest it fools some innocent social media users. The syndicated fiction and its hidden hands’ grouse was in regard to the appointment or reappointment of the director-general of the National Intelligence Agency, NIA. The incumbent DG’s four-year tenure expires in January next year. The alleged memo said the president’s appointing Ahmed Rufa’i Abubakar to the position four years ago was a “wrong one based on very wrong advice”.
The alleged letter repeatedly claimed that an NIA DG must be appointed upon recommendation by the national security adviser . Insofar as NSA is another prerogative appointee of the president, it is difficult to see how that takes away the constitutional provision that: “All executive power of the federation shall vest in the president”.
