There was jubilation at a Naval facility after the exit of
former Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas and others
On Tuesday, President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Rear
Admiral A. Z. Gambo as the new CNS.
Others were Major-General Leo Irabor – Chief of Defence
Staff; Major-General I. Attahiru – Chief of Army Staff; Air-Vice Marshal I. O.
Amao – Chief of Air Staff.
Apart from Ibas, others finally retired were Chief of
Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur
Buratai; Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.
In a viral video, scores of Naval personnel were in
celebration mood as they screamed, jumped and hugged each.
It was gathered that officers and men of the Armed
Forces across the country received news of the ex-military heads’ departure
with joy.
Citing insecurity, most Nigerians, including stalwarts of
the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), repeatedly urged Buhari to remove
the Service Chiefs.
The Nigerian leader appointed the quartet in July 2015.
In December, a former Senator, Rufai Hanga, said Buhari
refused to let them go because he was afraid of a coup.
