President Muhammadu Buhari has
revealed why he has not heeded the call to change the nation’s service chiefs.
He stated that although the
performance of the service chiefs may have been disappointing, he (Buhari) will
continue to accept responsibility for not removing them.
Buhari spoke in an interview
aired on Arise TV, adding that he would not make hasty decisions on some
issues, having served as military administrator, minister and head of state.
He said removing service chiefs
in the middle of a fight against insurgency may not be right.
“There are many ambitious people
waiting within the service but only one man can be chief of army staff, only
one man can be chief of air staff, only one man can be IG. Don’t forget that it
was this administration that appointed them.
“I didn’t know them personally. I
followed records and I think I picked the best. Of course, their performance
may be disappointing but I accept responsibility for not changing them.”
