Gen. Farouk Yahaya as the Chief of Army Staff. Frank also called on Nigerians and the international community “to hold Buhari responsible” for what he described as “reducing the country’s military and its officers and men to armed guards rather than a well-trained and disciplined fighting force.” Frank, in a statement in Abuja, condemned the appointment saying it represents a gross violation of the Constitution, Federal Character Principle and a total negation of the long cherished military traditions and values.
