MPs ask Abd al-Mahdi to reject resignation of Nineveh commander
Nineveh MP Ahmed al-Jarba on Monday affirmed that Najm al-Jabouri, commander of the province's operations, has resigned, demanding Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi to reject Jabouri's resignation.
"A request for promotion and retirement from Major General Najm al-Jabouri, Nineveh operations commander was submitted to you as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces," Jarba said in a letter to the Prime Minister.
"We would like to clarify to you that the MPs of the Council of Representatives of Nineveh province in general and the MPs of the Arab Project bloc in particular reject the request for retirement and promotion… and ask you to reject this request because Nineveh is in need to Major General Najm al-Jabouri in these circumstances."
