Buratai praises General Adeniyi for 'uncommon leadership' after he was redeployed following video of him complaining about bad equipment

 

Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General. Tukur Buratai has thanked Major General Olusegun Adeniyi for the successes he has led as theater commander under Operation Lafiya Dole (OPLD).

 

This happened after the resettlement of an army general followed the resettlement of an army general at the Nigerian Army Resource Center (NARC) in Abuja, a few days after his video he complained about Boko Haram rebels who had more ammunition as soldiers went viral.

 

At a dinner on Saturday night in honor of Adeniyi, Buratai spoke at the Maidugur Army Command Guesthouse about the appearance of General Maidugur as theater commander for Operation Lafiya Dole (OPLD), marking a turning point in the battle against Boko Haram.

　

The COAS said;

“Adeniyi came at a point when virtually most of the FOBs were falling and his coming was a turning point in Lafiya Dole’s operation.
“He never led from the rear, he is always in the front; that is the type of leadership that is required and that is an excellent attribute of a field leader. I have always emphasised that you must lead by example.
“This one; no matter the lapses, no matter the inadequacies and no matter what happened, nobody can take that away from him as part of his successes.
“He came at a time when things were already crumbling and his leadership style turned things around to bring us to where we are today.
“He never led from the rear, he is always in the front; that is the type of leadership that is required and that is an excellent attribute of a field leader. I have always emphasised that you must lead by example.
“So Adeniyi, be rest assured that you have made your mark. You are leaving the Theatre, but you will be required to share the experience you have gathered here. You will be consulted accordingly."

Maj.-Gen. Farouq Yahaya, who took over as the new Theatre Commander of OPLD, assured the COAS that he would do his best to achieve the vision, mandate and objective of the operation.
