Timi Frank Warns Tinubu Against Military Hierarchy Breach, Cites Coup Risks

Political activist Timi Frank has cautioned President Bola Tinubu about the risks of disregarding military traditions and standards, warning that such actions could lead to coup temptations in Nigeria. Frank expressed alarm over the reported special promotion of Tinubu's aide-de-camp (ADC) to the rank of Brigadier General, emphasizing the importance of adhering to established procedures to maintain professionalism and discipline within the military.

The promotion of Colonel Nurudeen Yusuf to Brigadier General earlier in 2025 had sparked controversy within military circles. These developments highlight concerns about political interference in the military and its potential impact on Nigeria's democracy and stability.
