President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has forwarded the names of the newly appointed Service Chiefs to the Senate for consideration and approval.
This comes after three days of announcing the appointment of the new Service Chiefs.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator BABAJIDE OMOWORARE, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja.
He said the transmission of the names was done in line with Section 18 (1) of the Armed Forces Act Cap. A.20 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria.
OMOWORARE said that the information was contained in BUHARI’s letter to the Senate President AHMAD LAWAN dated 27th January 2021.
You will recall that the appointment has been trailed with criticism as many believed the President did not follow due process by not forwarding their names to the National Assembly before announcing the appointment.
