Mohammed Chris Alli’s The Federal Republic of Nigerian Army

Mohammed Chris Alli is a retired Nigerian Army Major General who
served as Chief of Army Staff from 1993 to 1994 under General Sanni
Abacha’s regime and was military governor of Plateau State Nigeria from
August 1985 to 1986 during the military regime of General Ibrahim
Babangida. Many years later, he was appointed interim administrator of
the state during a 2004 crisis in the state following ethno-religious
killings in Shendam, Yelwa Local Government. In this anthology,
organized as a symposium on Mohammed Christopher Alli’s work, he is
identified as one of those critical and rational thinkers, philosophers,
albeit, a General in the Nigerian Army, whose work finds a befitting
logical space in the contemporary African philosophical tapestry. The
book also captures the elements of military misrule in Nigeria and its
undue influence on the body polity; it is a critical survey of past
military misadventures, and  a satire against false federalism, it is a
firm warning against future corruption and impunity in the military.
