President Goodluck Jonathan on his return from Brazil on
Friday fired his National Security Adviser, Retired General Patrick
Owoeye Azazi and appointed Retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki, to replace him.
The Minister of Defence, Mohammed Bello Haliru, was also affected in
the shake-up that is coming after unabated violence and attacks by
Islamic sect, Boko Haram in states across northern Nigeria.
The new NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (RTD) is a one-time ADC to
former military Head of State, General Ibrahim Babanginda.
Col Dasuki is a Prince of the Sokoto Caliphate. He was retired from
the Nigerian Army during the era of the late military Head of State,
General Sani Abacha.
The announcement was made shortly after the President summoned an
emergency security council meeting with all the security chiefs upon his
arrival from Brazil.
...........................What do you think about Jonathan's action...?
