AN OPEN LETTER TO MAJOR GENERAL DH ALI-KEFFI (RTD)
AN OPEN LETTER TO MAJOR GENERAL DH ALI-KEFFI (RTD)
Major General Danjuma Hamisu Ali-Keffi (Rtd),
I write to you not as an adversary but as a concerned Nigerian and a professional observer of institutional integrity and national security. My voice joins what I suspect is a silent chorus of those who have followed your career trajectory with increasing alarm, not for the positions you held, but for the persistent pattern of conduct that has now escalated into a matter of grave public concern. This is an appeal to your reason, your legacy, and your patriotism.
General, the official records of your service—not rumours, but the documented assessments of your superiors and the findings from the records as narrated by your colleagues —paint a consistent and troubling picture. From your early command, you displayed a pattern of operational insubordination, refusing lawful orders during critical security operations. Your response to correction was never acquiescence or professional dialogue; it was consistently accusatory retaliation, bypassing channels to file petitions against your commanders. This tendency solidified over the years: a reported tolerance for unresolved misconduct within your units, a documented refusal to comply with a major posting order in 2021, and an alleged campaign to incite disloyalty among officers. The military, an institution built on the bedrock of discipline and the chain of command, finally diagnosed you as suffering from “incompetence, indolence, and disloyalty to constituted authority.” Your compulsory retirement was not a casual administrative event; it was the institution’s last-resort surgery to remove a cancerous growth from its command structure.
However, your post-retirement actions have transformed you from an internal institutional danger into a clear national security threat. Your recent public allegation—that the tragic death of former Chief of Army Staff Attahiru – was an assassination orchestrated from within—is the catastrophic culmination of your lifelong pattern. You are no longer merely disobeying a commanding officer; you are now attempting to sabotage the nation’s faith in its own military. By weaving narratives of high-level murder, corruption, and treason without providing verifiable evidence, you achieve several destructive ends:
1. You erode the public trust that is essential for civic stability.
2. You demoralise serving officers who risk their lives daily under this same flag.
3. You provide potent ammunition to Nigeria’s adversaries, both domestic and foreign, who seek to discredit the state.
4. You plant the seeds of discord and conspiracy in the public mind, weakening our collective resilience.
This is not the act of a patriot. It is the final, self-destructive act of a character forever at war with authority, now turning its weapons on the very foundation of the state.
Therefore, I issue a dual call.
To the Nigerian public: Be cautious. Do not mistake General Ali-Keffi’s allegations for brave whistleblowing. Examine the source. He is a man with a documented, decades-long pattern of defying and accusing every authority he has served under. His current claims are not new evidence; they are the latest, most explosive iteration of a well-established personal strategy. To amplify his voice uncritically is to become an accessory in the destabilisation of our national security architecture.
To you, General Ali-Keffi, directly: It is time to look inward. The consistency of your conflict—the perpetual stance of the righteous martyr against every hierarchy, culminating in apocalyptic public claims—suggests a profound psychological distress. The leap from battlefield insubordination to alleging state-sponsored assassination indicates an escalation beyond political grievance into a realm of paranoia and grandiosity that is deeply harmful, first to you, and now to the nation.
I strongly and respectfully advise you to seek immediate and comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and care. This is not a slur, but a recommendation based on the observable, documented trajectory of your behaviour. A skilled professional could help you untangle the roots of this persecutory narrative and this compulsion for public confrontation. True strength lies not in perpetuating a cycle of blame but in having the courage to confront one’s own demons. For the sake of your family, your honour, and the country you once served, silence the destructive public campaign and seek help.
Your legacy is at a crossroads. It can be remembered as that of a brilliant but troubled officer who ultimately sought peace and healing, or as that of a man who, in his final chapter, chose to become a weapon of mass discord against his own nation. Choose the path of restoration.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bernard Achibulus
Asaba, Delta State.

PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES OTEGA OGRA ON ELECTION TO WORLD FEDERATION OF ADVERTISERS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES OTEGA OGRA ON ELECTION TO WORLD FEDERATION OF ADVERTISERS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated his Senior Special Assistant on Digital Engagement, Strategy and New Media, Mr Otega Ogra, on his election to the Executive Committee of the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA).
The election took place today at the organisation’s Annual General Meeting, held during the Global Marketing Week Conference in Stockholm, Sweden.
President Tinubu described the development as a significant step for Nigeria’s growing influence in global communications.
He noted that Mr Ogra’s emergence as the only representative from West Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa on the Executive Committee reflects the depth of Nigerian expertise and the contribution of a new generation of young Nigerian professionals to global industry standards.
Mr Ogra was elected to the Executive Committee on the platform of the Advertisers Association of Nigeria (ADVAN), underscoring the role of Nigeria’s organised advertising and marketing industry in shaping representation at the global level.
The WFA is the leading global body for advertisers, representing over 150 multinational and Fortune 500 companies, alongside national advertiser associations across more than 60 countries, with a combined annual marketing spend running into hundreds of billions of dollars. Its Executive Committee is the organisation’s highest decision-making body, responsible for setting priorities and guiding global policy on responsible advertising, media transparency, sustainability, and the evolution of digital ecosystems.
President Tinubu noted that Mr Ogra’s election is both a personal distinction and a strategic opportunity for Nigeria and the African continent, placing them at the centre of global conversations on brand trust, platform accountability, innovation and the future of marketing and communications.
The President commended Mr Ogra, who also serves as Vice President of ADVAN, for his sustained contributions to strengthening Nigeria’s marketing and communications ecosystem, drawing on a career spanning leadership roles across the banking, manufacturing, and public sectors.
“Otega’s election reflects the growing recognition of Nigerian expertise and affirms our capacity to contribute meaningfully to the frameworks shaping global markets,” the President said.
President Tinubu added that the achievement aligns with his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly in advancing the creative economy, strengthening digital governance, and positioning Nigeria as a competitive hub for innovation and enterprise.
Josh Faulks, CEO of the Australian advertiser association (AANA), and Simon Michaelides, Director General of the UK advertiser association (ISBA), also join the leadership team.
Current members of the executive committee, David Wheldon, President and Philip Myers, Deputy President, who is also the Chief Institutional Affairs and Corporate Communications Officer at Ferrero, continue in their current roles, as do all regional vice presidents.
