Bakassi

The end to the Nigeria-Cameroon dispute over the Bakassi peninsula appears not in sight yet, as Nigeria's military high command declared on Wednesday that former President Olusegun Obasanjo, acted alone in the decision to cede the territory to Cameroun।Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Owoye Azazi told the Senate joint ad-hoc committee investigating the Green Tree Agreement (GTA), in Abuja that the former president unilaterally signed the agreement without consulting the nation's armed forces leadership। In his testimony before the Senator Jubril Aminu-led panel, the CDS explained that the only consultation made by Obasanjo was an eleventh-minute directive he issued to the former CDS, General Martins Luther Agwai, to accompany him to the signing ceremony at the United Nations।He explained that the singular action of the former president ran counter to the security interest of the country, because no professional military advice was sought for input।Azazi observed that the import of the agreement was that Cameroun would take full control and ownership of the Bakassi peninsula at the expiration of the current five-year joint military management operation in the region and Nigeria.The situation, he stressed, would put the country in a very embarrassing position that would necessitate seeking prior and approved permission like any other foreign nation before entering the territory to undertake any activity.The CDS advised that the Federal Government should jettison the agreement, saying that the GTA signing was hasty and lacked diplomacy, because Nigeria's military high command should have been consulted in the first place which was not so.Commenting on the agreement based on the testimony, the committee's Chairman, Professor Aminu said failure of the former president to seek expert military advice before the agreement was undertaken constituted a serious slight, adding that Cameroun had engaged in a thorough and serious homework to achieve her aim.“Cameroun did a lot of homework. Our Armed Forces were not on the driving seat. There was a serious oversight, something misty,' he said.
