Former principal general staff officer to late head of state,
Gen. Sani Abacha, Maj. General Lawrence Onojahas been tipped to succeed
the corps marshal of Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Mr Osita
Chidoka, who has been appointed as minister.
A source close to the Presidency told LEADERSHIP in Abuja yesterday that the federal government had decided to appoint Maj. Gen. Lawrence Onoja to replace Chidoka based on his robust military antecedent which the FRSC would need in the face of the insecurity in the country.
With the confirmation of Osita Chidoka as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the battle line were drwan among the contenders over who becomes the next FRSC’s helmsman.
If Onoja succeeds the current FRSC boss eventually, he will have beaten eight deputy corps marshals (DCM) who see themselves as ‘insiders’ that must be favoured over an ‘outsider,’ Onoja.
The contenders are, Lawrence Onoja; Yemi Oyeyemi; Adeyi Abu; Demola Lawal; Ojeme Ewurujakpor; Chidi Nwachukwu; Danjuma Garba; AK Hassan and Yemi Omidiji.
It would be recalled that right from the onset, the Corps Marshal of the FRSC has always been drafted from pool of experience outside the commission, of which Osita is a beneficiary.
