The Presidency has reacted to the proposal by the Senate that President Muhammadu Buhari must sack the Service Chiefs in Nigeria.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Tuesday said the appointment and sacking of service chiefs remained the prerogative of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Adesina said this in a statement titled “Service chiefs: Position of Presidency on resolution by the Senate.”
He was responding to the Senate which on Tuesday asked the nation’s heads of armed forces to step aside following the killings of soldiers currently fighting insurgency and banditry in some parts of northern Nigeria.
Adesina said the Presidency noted the resolution and that Buhari would do what is in the best interest of the country at all times.
In a tweet today, Mr Femi Adesina, wrote:
“President Buhari notes the resolution of the Senate asking Service Chiefs to resign or be sacked. The Presidency reiterates that appointment or sack of Service Chiefs is a Presidential prerogative, and the Commander-in-Chief will do the best for the country at all times.”
