Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, on Friday, reacted to President Bola Tinubu’s sack of Service Chiefs which affected Christopher Musa, former Chief of Defence Staff, CDS.
Sani said the people of Kaduna State are proud of Musa’s accomplishment as CDS.
He noted that the people of the state appreciate his stewardship while in office.
Posting on X, he wrote: “Periodic changes in the leadership structure of our security services are essential in order to achieve results.
“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. We Wish him well in his future endeavours.”
A statement by Tinubu’s spokesman, Sunday Dare, said the president made changes in the hierarchy of the Service Chiefs in furtherance of the efforts of Nigeria to strengthen the national security architecture.
According to the statement, Tinubu appointed General Olufemi Oluyede to replace General Christopher Musa as the new Chief of Defence Staff.
The new Chief of Army Staff is Major-General W. Shaibu. Air Vice Marshall S.K Aneke is Chief of Air Staff while Rear Admiral I. Abbas is the new Chief of Naval Staff.
Chief of Defence Intelligence Major-General E.A.P Undiendeye retains his position.
