Babagana Monguno,
national security adviser, was absent when President Muhammadu Buhari met with
service chiefs at the presidential villa in Abuja on Monday.
Appointed co-chair
of the National Humanitarian Coordination Committee (NHCC), Monguno, who has
been in the news over his disagreement with Abba Kyari, chief of staff to the
president, has always been part of such security meeting.
After meeting with
Buhari, the service chiefs headed straight to the office of Kyari for another
round of meeting.
Present at the
meeting were Abayomi Olonisakin, chief of defence staff; Tukur Buratai, chief
of army staff; Sadique Abubakar, chief of air staff; and Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas,
chief of naval staff.
In a recent leaked
memo signed by Monguno, he had accused Kyari of undue interference on national
security matters, alleging that Kyari issues directives to the service chiefs
without the prior knowledge or approval of the president.
