After succumbing to public outcry, President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday appointed former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ola Sa’ad Ibrahim, as the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS.
Due to the interference of some external forces, Olufamous.com had reported that President Jonathan planned to appoint the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen Azubuike Ihejirika as CDS ahead of his senior. But at last reason prevailed.
Vice Admiral Ola replaced Air Marshal Oluseyi Petinrin, who has retired.
The President also appointed Rear Admiral Dele Ezeoba from Delta State as the new Chief of Naval Staff, while Air Vice Marshal Alex Sabundu Badeh from Adamawa State is the new Chief of Air Staff to replace Air Marshal Mohammed Dikko Umar. The Chief of Army Staff, Ihejirika, retained his position.
Before their new appointments, Ezeoba was the Chief of Administration at the Defence Headquarters, while Badeh was the Air Officer Commanding, AOC, Training Command, Kaduna.

Olu I hope the people who insulted you during your campaign for justice will take this in good fate? Keep up d gud work!

ReplyDeleteA very big fool. fighting for fortunes and fame, stop trying to compete for fame with SR. Yours is just pure hatred for other tribes and public instigation.
ReplyDeleteWhy so much hatred against Olu? We all know it would hav been wrong for an Ibo man to get that post now. Pls stop this attacks. Balla
ReplyDeleteIts a shame that those of u criticising Olu for a balance story cant even reveal ur identity.

So Balla it is alright for hausa and yoruba ppl to rule NiGeria 51 and half yrs out of 52 yrs of her indepedence with nothing to show for it? Yet Olu is panicking just cos of d mere speculation that an ibo man maybe next Chief of defence staff? And Jonathan eventually appoints a yoruba man inspite of Olu's myopic tribal hyperventilation. D closest d ibo man has come close to d highest office was Gen Ironsi for only six months b4 he was murdered by Danjuma. An ordinary position of chief of defence staff is making Olu panick! So if an ibo man becomes President 00olu and his ilk will commit suicide. What a low life douchbag that Olu thing.
