Buhari Have Right To Sack Or Retain Service Chiefs Only In Interest Of The Country – Presidency

The Presidency has made it clear that appointment or sacking of Service Chiefs is a Presidential prerogative of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Reacting to a Senate resolution calling on the Service Chiefs to resign or be sacked due to the multi-pronged security challenges in the country, the Presidency stressed that the President will continue to do what is best at all times in the best interest of the country as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

The two-paragraph statement was issued today, July 21 by the special adviser to the President on media and publicity Femi Adesina.
