Former ADC to President Muhammadu Buhari in the military era and Emir of Gwandu Major Mustapha Jokolo (rtd), has frowned at the crisis in the Presidency between the National Security Adviser (NSA), Major General Babagana Monguno and the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.
Jokolo recommends that President Buhari should sack both Major General Babagana Monguno and the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.
Jokolo, who is the Emir of Gwandu equally asked President Muhammadu Buhari to listen to voices of Nigerians and sack the Service Chiefs.
The monarch, who spoke on a radio programme monitored in Kaduna, noted that altercations between officers holding sensitive offices had never happened during their military regime because they respected each other’s roles and avoided overlaps.
He said the President, the NSA and Chief of Staff should remember that, unless they toe the line of the Nigerian public, Almighty Allah is watching them because Nigeria is greater than any individual.

His words: ”The misunderstanding between them was borne out of greed, selfishness if not, these two 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?”
“Truly, General Munguno had complained, but he did not refer his complaints to the right persons. He should have written directly to President 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,” he said.
” Nigerians are not happy with the service chiefs and they should have been removed and much better ones appointed.
”In a saner clime, all the service chiefs would have been sacked also because public outcry was against them coupled with an increasingly deteriorating security situation.”
