Buhari Finally Replaces Service Chiefs

President MUHAMMADU BUHARI seems to have listened to the demand of Nigerians by announcing the sack of the service chiefs which takes immediate effect.

He has also appointed new hands to take over the batons of piloting the security affairs of the country.

The President in a tweet said the former service chiefs tendered their resignation while he commended them for their contributions in engendering a safer country.

The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President, FEMI ADESINA, who made this known said the new Service Chiefs include Major-General LEO IRABOR who replaced General ABAYOMI OLONISAKIN as Chief of Defense Staff;

Air Vice Marshal ISIAKA OLADAYO AMAO replaced Air Marshal SADIQUE ABUBAKAR as Chief of Air Staff;

Rear Admiral AWWAL ZUBAIRU GAMBO replaced Vice Admiral IBOK-ETE EKWE IBAS as Chief of Naval Staff;

while General IBRAHIM ATTAHIRU replaced Lieutenant General TUKUR YUSUF BURATAI as Chief of Army Staff.

Speaking on a monitored program, ADESINA said the president replaced them because he just felt it was time to have fresh energy.

While responding to comments about alleged nepotism in appointments under the current administration, the presidential spokesman said the appointment of security chiefs is not subject to federal character.
