Former Minister of Aviation and a Peoples Democratic Party chieftain Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has tackled President Muhammadu Buhari for saying that the Nigerian Army was not hard on the separatist agitation of Biafrans during the 30 months civil war.

June 9, 2018 is the second anniversary of the unjust retirement of 38 senior army officers by Gens Buratai and Dan-All.  Both  presided over a  sitting of the Army Council and retired the officers over unfounded and unproven claims of alleged partisanship in the 2015 General Elections and alleged involvement in the defence contract scam at the National Security Adviser’s office without granting anyone fair hearing. One of the 38, Lt. Col. Baba-Ochankpa has since died in his sleep, leaving a widow and three beautiful kids.
