Major Mustapha Jokolo (retd), a former aide-de-camp to the President, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd),  has called for the sack of the National Security Adviser [NSA], Maj. Gen. Monguno, and the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari.

Jokolo, who was also a former Emir of Gwandu in Kebbi State, asked his former boss to also fired the service chiefs.

The former ADC expressed grave concerns over the crisis rocking the seat of the nation’s power.

Jokolo, who was ADC to Buhari when he was military Head of State between 1983 and 1985, said such altercation between the NSA and the President’s COS was capable of eroding the credibility of the leadership of the current regime.

This, he said, was because of the sensitive nature of the offices the officers in question are holding, adding that in a military era such development couldn’t occur because it would amount to “overlapping of office” or job schedules.

The monarch, who spoke in an interview on the Hausa Service of the Radio France International monitored in Kaduna on Thursday, said the service chiefs ought to have been fired by now by Buhari.

The monarch urged the President, The NSA and the service chiefs to hearken to the voice of Nigerians, adding that Nigeria was bigger than any individuals.

He alleged that the seeming crisis among the presidency officials were purely out of greed and selfishness.

Jokolo noted that Nigerians were unhappy because of the retention of the service chiefs who were supposed to be removed and replaced by other officers in the armed forces.

The monarch said,

“The misunderstanding between them was borne out of greed, selfishness. If not so, the two officers involved are brothers; they are all Muslims and from the same tribe.

“President Buhari had brought them to assist him in different roles. Why then should there be any conflict of roles?

“But whenever any amongst them encroaches into the other’s territory, there will be a problem.

“Truly, General Munguno had complained but he did not refer his complaints to the right persons. He should have written directly to Buhari on how he felt about his Chief of Staff. This is because Buhari tends to recognize his Chief of Staff as his ” Deputy President”.

“Buhari had said everything should be done through the Chief of Staff. This implied that Buhari has given him limitless power and he can do anything but this is a misnomer.”
