Why is the Nigerian Army Promoting Senior Military Officers



VP Goodluck Jonathan at logger-heads with Turai Yar’adua but still plays his card cool, Coup rumours and secret meetings; why is the Nigerian Army announcing the promotion of officers in the cadre of General? To bribe and stop them from organising a coup?


Eight officers were elevated to the rank of Major General, while 49 others were moved to the rank of Brigadier General.
Nigerian sick President, Umaru Yar’adua still on AWOL in Jeddah Saudi Arabia, high-wire intrigues and intense power struggle goes on inside Aso Rock, Nigerian caught in US airline terrorist attack, more pipelines explode in the Niger Delta, Banks in melt-dwon, Economy in doldrums, Anambra political crisis nears a powder keg, Maryam Babangida is dead, letter bombs explode in Lagos, Concerned Nigerians wonder what will happen on January 1st 2010, when there won’t be a Chief Justice of the Federation of Nigerian to swear in Jonathan Goodluck even if the powers that be agree to declare Yar’Adua incapacitated by then. Pointblanknews.com reports that some notable politicians said to be close to the ailing President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua may have approached some top military personnel with a whooping N10 Billion to take over power and subsequently hand over to them after six months.
Saharareporters say the first lady, Turai, Yar’adua’s wife insists that the military be allowed to take over power after a vacuum would have been created by January 1st 2010, when there won’t be a Chief Justice of the Federation of Nigerian to swear in Jonathan even if they agree to declare Yar’Adua incapacitated. The military, under the plan, would intervene to “prevent chaos and unconstitutionality from derailing Nigeria’s unity and corporate existence”.
