There has been a big Security shake up in the highest echelons of the Nigerian government. A few months after stating that Boko Haram has representatives in all the arms of government General (rtd) Andrew Owoye Azazi finds himself out in the cold after being dropped by President Jonathan. Dr. Mohammed Haliru the Minister of Defence was also dropped. These recent spate of events are not unrelated to the serious insecurity that has besieged the nation in recent times.

General Azazi had seemed increasingly unable to cope with the flood of recent attacks all across the northern part of the Nation. To be fair, he received little support from within or without the Government. The Guillotine was always going to drop. It was just a matter of when. Well it has dropped and once again President Jonathan made an obvious choice. A northerner who seems to have considerable influence in the North.

Meanwhile Col. Sambo Dasuki has been brought in to replace General Azazi. Dr. Haliru's replacement is yet to be nominated by the President.
