“We are confident that the new service chiefs will consolidate on the remarkable achievements of their predecessors in keeping the country safe and peaceful”, he said.
The party scribe appealed for support for the new military heads and urged increased synergy within the Armed Forces.
“As a nation, our strength remains in our diversity and we should continue to forge unity in that diversity. We urge peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding among Nigerians”, his statement added.
The new chiefs are Major-General Leo Irabor – Chief of Defence Staff; Major-General I. Attahiru – Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral A. Z Gambo – Chief of Naval Staff; Air-Vice Marshal I. O. Amao – Chief of Air Staff.
