7 things President Buhari said to the new service chiefs

President Muhammadu Buhari in a surprise move, sacked all the service chiefs, and immediately appointed
new officers .
1. All of you, including the National Security Adviser, were chosen on merit.

2. Your records gave you the job. Save for the new Chief of Army Staff whom I briefly met at his Command at the Multi-National Joint Task Force, in Chad.

3. I don’t know any of you.

4. Your records recommended you.

5. Legally, you are in acting capacity until the National Assembly accepts you.

6. It is only then that you will take the oath of office.

7. Thereafter, we will sit down and talk in more detail.
