" Do Not Call Me The Commander In Chief Of Armed Forces" - Jonathan
Presidency has ordered all government functionaries to desist from
addressing President Goodluck Jonathan as the Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria at non-military
functions.
In a memo on Thursday, addressed to the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, ministers, heads
of ministries, departments, agencies and parastatals, the leadership of
the National Assembly, and government-owned companies, It is further
directed that except in purely armed forces programmes, Mr. President
should not be addressed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the statement warned.
The
approved designation of the President for the purposes of all official
correspondence, public announcements or Communication should be The
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I am to stress
that for all official purposes, Mr. President should be addressed as
follows: His Excellency, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mr. Anyim added, urging strict compliance
to the presidential directive by all Nigerians.
