The former Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Elder Simon Achuba has prayed for the success of the new Chief of Army Staff, Major General Waidi Shaibu.
In a statement congratulating the new army helmsman, Achuba prayed God to grant the new Army Chief the wisdom and understanding to finally end the security challenges in the country. Such security challenges include Boko Haram insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, farmers-herdsmen clashes and others.
Achuba is confident that Major General Shaibu will bring his wealth of experience to tackle the worrying security situation in the country.
According to him, the appointment of
Major General Shaibu is a testament to the fact that the federal government is prepared to build a combat-ready, disciplined and people-focused army, capable of decisively confronting emerging security challenges and upholding Nigeria’s pride and honour in peace and war.
The former Deputy Governor expressed hope that the Kogi born General would change the narrative on the security situation in the country, even as he advised other service chiefs to work in harmony with him to achieve the goal.
Achuba felicitated Kogi state and Nigeria over the appointment of a man of integrity.
He expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for the choice of Major General Waidi Shaibu for such a sensitive position.
