ARMY SHOULD LISTEN TO TY DANJUMA

What Gen. TY Danjuma (rtd) said about the Army is 100 per cent correct, because that is exactly what happened with late Gen. Muhammadu Shuwa, who was killed as a result of collaboration between the Army who were guarding him and his assassins. Fifteen well-armed officers were guarding him when the killers came in around 11.00 am and shot him without any resistance. After killing him the killers saluted the soldiers and were laughing with the corpse lying under a tree.

Gen. Shuwa was sitting outside his home and sent someone to buy him a razor blade to use in shaving in preparation for Friday prayer, so the soldiers guarding him knew he was not armed and may have communicated same with the killers.

So the Army of yesteryears is not the same with the Army of today and this Gen. Shuwa also attested to. There was a quarrel in Maiduguri whereby the Army were molesting civilians, like asking them to carry motorcycles on their head, Gen. Shuwa was bitterly against that saying they didn’t do that during their era. He told me he went to the then Army Commander and complained during a security meeting. He rebuked the Commander who apologized and later replaced the soldiers including those guarding him.

So there is every reason to believe Gen. TY Danjuma; there may be a few disenchanted elements within the Army, you can’t blame all of them, these few elements should be isolated and dealt with.

TY Danjuma some years back said Borno had been deserted security-wise, and it came to pass with Gen. Shuwa’s killings. So the federal government should critically evaluate what Danjuma said and take immediate action. It should fish out the soldiers who are good and bad, isolate the bad ones and continue to train the good ones for the sake of salvaging the unity of Nigeria.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
