"A failed system!
Having the whole security heads from the North isn't the best there should be a balance."
@oviejo13
"Has the North now more educated than the south. Is there no intelligent officer retired or serving, that can work with. Buhari security structure? Is Buhari not aware of the nature of Nigeria? Why is Buhari behaving like this? Why is Buhari causing confusion where he need not to?"
Adeyanju Deji
"BREAKING: President Buhari sacks Bayelsa born Acting Director of SSS, appoints Yusuf Magaji Bichi as new DG of SSS.
Reason: Tribalism and nepotism."
Donald Duke
"PMB has just appointed Yusuf Magaji Bichi as substantive DG SSS. Against the clamor to broaden the heads of our nations security framework, PMB has proven himself an irredeemable irredentist. SAD!!!"
