Finally! President Buhari has changed the Service Chiefs led by Chief of Defence Staff, Gabriel Olonisakin. Leo Irabor was named the new Chief of Defence Staff; I. Attahiru, Chief of Army Staff; A.Z. Gambo, Chief of Naval Staff; and I.O. Amao, Chief of Air Force. Gentlemen, congrats and bring peace to the land.
I have accepted the immediate resignation of the Service Chiefs, and their retirement from service. I thank them all for their overwhelming achievements in our efforts at bringing enduring peace to Nigeria, and wish them well in their future endeavours.
