President Muhammadu Buhari has dropped his Aide-De-Camp, ADC, Col. ML Abubakar.
Abubakar has been with the President since his first term in office, 2015. Described as extremely loyal and dedicated, Abubakar has been with the President through tick and thin, the good and bad times.
But the President had to let go of him because he is billed for a promotion course with his Course mates.
In Abubakar’s place is Lt. Col. YM Dodo.
Until his appointment, Dodo was the Academy Adjutant at the Nigeria Defence Academy, NDA, Kaduna.
Abubakar is not likely to go back to his former position after his course, as he is expected to be promoted to a new rank of Brigadier-General.
In that rank, he would have gone beyond being anybody’s ADC – not even that of the President of Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria.
