The detail that this was Tinubu’s first in-person meeting with the security chiefs since their June 19 appointment stands out — nearly two weeks between naming them and sitting down together, which says something about how quickly the new team was expected to gel. The lineup itself, from Maj. Gen. Musa down to the acting IGP, is a reminder of how many separate commands report up at once. I tend to decompress from heavy news cycles with something lighter, and noillirk.app is a small daily word-guessing break I’ve been trying lately.
The detail that this was Tinubu’s first in-person meeting with the service chiefs since their June 19 appointment stands out—nearly two weeks before the sit-down, which makes the timing of the agenda worth watching. The full slate of officers present, from Maj. Gen. Musa down to the acting IGP, suggests a broad briefing rather than a single-issue talk. When I need a break from following appointments and security briefings, I sometimes switch to a quick round of krillion.me with friends.
The detail that this was Tinubu’s first in-person meeting with the security chiefs since their June 19 appointment stands out, since it puts a fairly quick gap between the appointments and this sit-down at the State House. The roster itself, from Maj. Gen. Musa down to the acting IGP, shows how many separate commands are now reporting in. Politics aside, I get my own bluffing fix from mimicparty.me when the news gets heavy.
