The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday, February 17, reacted to the disagreement between Major Gen. Babagana Monguno (rtd), the NSA and President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff (CoS) Abba Kyari.
Legit.ng gathered that Monguno had accused Kyari of hijacking the coordination of security leadership and keeping him on the sidelines when it comes to making strategic decisions in national security operations.
