ADEYANJU HAILS TINUBU OVER APPOINTMENT OF NUHU RIBADU AS NSA, CALLS ON HIM TO SACK NEW SERVICE CHIEFS IF THEY FAIL TO PERFORM
I received with elation, the cheering news that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has retired all services chiefs and appointed new ones, including the fitting appointment of Malam Nuhu Ribadu as the National Security Adviser.
The decision to appoint Nuhu Ribadu as NSA is indeed a courageous one which I personally commend.
As Nigeria gradually exits a period where political appointments, once made, were retained for the duration of their term, irrespective of the appointee’s incompetence, it is important to remind President Tinubu that military appointments are not to be made as political patronage. If the new service chiefs fail in their duty, they should equally be sacked without much ado. Only through this means can we have service chiefs whose loyalty is to the Nigerian state.
I also use this medium to congratulate Mallam Nuhu Ribadu on his appointment as the National Security Adviser. Mallam Ribadu has had a stellar career, and expect that he will bring his wealth of experience to bear in the nation’s security affairs. I call on the new service chiefs and acting Inspector General of Police to eschew inter agency conflict and corruption.
President Bola Tinubu and all newly appointed officials must make efforts to halt the decline in every strata of our national life.
