The crucial meeting might not be unconnected to the crisis that rocked the ruling party since the national leader of the APC Bola Tinubu asked Chief Oyegun to resign for derailing the party’s agenda.

Tinubu made the demand on September 25 in a communiqué from his media office.

COAS Charges Cadets on Discipline

COAS Charges Cadets on Discipline
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General TY Buratai, has urged the 63 Regular Course cadets of the Nigerian Defence Academy to remain disciplined, focused and committed to the rules and regulations of the Academy, as these virtues will see them through their training and ensure that they pass out as Commissioned officers.

*Army to commission female combatant officers – Buratai*

Tukur BurataiChief Of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Tukur Buratai, said the Nigerian Army has concluded plans to review the Harmonized Terms And Conditions of Service (HTACOS), for officers to address the commission of female Regular Combatant officers in the service.Buratai said this has become necessary as the first batch of female regular combatant officers currently undergoing training at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) would soon complete their training and be commissioned into the Nigerian Army.The army chief, who made this known while addressing officers at the just concluded chief of army staff combined second and third quarter conference, also said the army would review its training curricula especially in the area of deployment in view of operational exigencies to accommodate the female officers.
“The issue regarding their deployment in view ofoperational exigencies has necessitated a review of their training curricula as it concerns the Nigerian Army,” Buratai said.“I have therefore directed the convocation of policy guidelines to augment the provisions of HTACOS (officers) which will address the peculiar nature of their commission vis-a-vis their employment in service.”“It is thus the desire of the Nigerian Army to resume the admission of female regular combatant cadets in line with global convention on non-discrimination against women in nationalservice”.To ensure young Nigerian army officers are grounded in the rudiments of regimentation and meet contemporary security challenges, Buratai, said he has designated 20 Battalion, located in Serti, Taraba state, as a Model Battalion to “instill the rudiments of regimentation into young officers in the field as well as new graduates from the Nigerian Defence Academy.”

Tension!! The Real Reason Tinubu Shunned Buhari’s Independence Day Invitation - Presidency Blows Hot

The embattled National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has for the first time since 2015, shunned an event organised by President Muhammadu Buhari, to mark the 56th Independence Day Anniversary of Nigeria, at the Presidential Villa.
Sources within the Presidency confirmed to Post-Nigeria, that Tinubu decided to shun the event, to express his displeasure over Buhari’s continued silence, over the outcome of the APC Gubernatorial primary poll in Ondo State, where his political son, Segun Abraham, was defeated.
Reacting, a Lawyer and Political Analyst, Yemi Adetoyinbo, said it was clear that Tinubu was still angry that his godson, lost the election to the eventual winner, Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN).
“The election was seen to be transparent by the media, but there was inkling that there would be issues, when the party’s Chairmen in Ondo East and Ondo West Local Government Areas, Akintunde Samuel and Adeola Ademulegun, respectively, submitted a petition that their delegates had been replaced, but the election had to go on,” he said.
He added: “Tinubu had endorsed Abraham, but others had ganged up against his godson, to make sure that he was defeated, until the Presidency met with them in Abuja, and a list of delegates was given to them. But when the votes were cast eventually, Abraham had 635 votes, and Akeredolu led with 669 votes.
“Olusola Oke came third, and Prof. Ajayi Boroffice came fourth”.
