The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has frowned at the appointment Major General Farouk Yahaya as Nigeria's new Chief of Army Staff.

The IPOB leader criticized the appointment in a Tweet on Twitter.

 He tweeted; “This is how they roll. Quite frankly, they don’t give a damn. Every security position MUST be occupied by a #Fulani or a #Fulani. ”

“All of you sophisticated morons, grammarians and multi-purpose Efulefus from the South yapping about one Nigeria, your shame is shaming me.”

 Yahaya’s appointment was announced on Thursday afternoon in a statement issued by the Nigerian Army. The former chief of Army staff, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru died in plane crash in Kaduna state last week.
