Col. Umar Writes Buhari, Says Lopsided Appointments Will Destroy Nigeria via thisdaylive

The corollary to this is that at the expiration of your 8-year tenure in 2023, your achievements will not be measured solely by the physical infrastructure your administration built. An enduring legacy would be based on those intangible things like how much you uplifted the spirit and moral tone of the nation. How well have you secured the nation from ourselves and from external enemies?

General Danjuma however waived his right and recommended a much junior officer, Lt. Col.
