The Director, Media and Publicity of the defunct
Tinubu-Shettima Campaign Organisation, Bayo Onanuga, has said the appointment
of new Service Chiefs by President Bola Tinubu was not based on nepotism.
He made this clarification on Monday through his official
Twitter handle.
Recall that Tinubu sacked all service chiefs on Monday and
appointed their replacements.
Reacting to claims of nepotism, Onanuga stated that Rear
Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla, Chief of Naval Staff, is from South East –
Enugu, and Maj. Gen. EPA Undiandeye, Chief of Defense Intelligence, hails from
South South – Obudu, Cross River State.
He said the appointments spread across the major
geo-political zones in the country.
“Here is a breakdown of the state/region of service chiefs 1
Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, National Security Adviser (North-Adamawa), 2. Maj. Gen. C.G
