Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has reacted to President Bola Tinubu’s decision to sack the nation’s Service Chiefs on Friday.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Sani particularly commended General Christopher Musa, the former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), describing him as a dedicated officer whose service brought pride to the people of Kaduna State.
“Periodic changes in the leadership structure of our security services are essential in order to achieve results,” Sani wrote.
“The lack of courage to do this in the past is partly attributed to the failures of the nation’s battle against insecurity.
For us in Kaduna, we appreciate the service and stewardship of the outgoing CDS, General Musa. We are proud of his accomplishments and wish him well in his future endeavours.”
According to a statement released by Presidential Spokesman Sunday Dare, the President approved the changes in line with his administration’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s national security architecture.
Under the new appointments, General Olufemi Oluyede replaces General Christopher Musa as the new Chief of Defence Staff, while Major-General W. Shaibu becomes the Chief of Army Staff. Air Vice Marshal S.K. Aneke was appointed Chief of Air Staff, and Rear Admiral I. Abbas now serves as Chief of Naval Staff.
The Chief of Defence Intelligence, Major-General E.A.P. Undiendeye, retains his position.
