On Friday's episode of Arise Television, Sadeeq discussed the issue and criticized the method used to promote officers to the rank of Major General.
He cited the repercussions of those who would be obliged to continue on retirement as the reason why it is not ideal to have over 300 Major Generals available for the president to choose from.
He pointed out that the Nigerian military might be destroyed by the retirement of about 100 Major Generals.
"If you follow the structure of the military pyramid, you have already given him a few numbers of top-quality officers that he can choose from," he remarked, referring to the commander in chief and president.
"In a scenario where the president arrives and has a choice of over 300 Major Generals, you have not aided him.
"The president himself is not the issue. In fact, under the current interpretation of section 217, which deals with the nomination of service heads, the president is even permitted to choose a Colonel and declare him to be his service chief. He chooses anybody he likes.
No other nation could afford to retire 100 Major Generals without seeing their force disintegrate, but Nigeria's military organization is excessive.
