There are emerging reports that President Muhammadu Buhari is prepared to name a new Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, and the Service Chiefs, any moment soon.
The President it was gathered, would pick the new Military Chiefs based on the geographical spread of the country, most especially from the South-East.
“President Muhammadu Buhari may disappoint those who think he is an ethnic and religious bigot, as he set to appoint Service Chiefs with a balance spread across religion and zones, especially the South-East; unlike the present Service Chiefs where we have both the Chief of Army Staff and the Chief of Air Staff, coming from the same geopolitical zone.
“This is so, because he has considerably achieved his aim in defeating the Boko Haram terrorists, as he had promised the country”, a source who is deeply vested in security matters told Vanguard.
The President as further gathered, would any moment from now, name the new Security Heads to man the nation’s security sector, given that the tenures of the current Chief of Defence Staff and Service Chiefs, have expired.
It was reliably gathered that a serving Minister who is close to the President, is trying to downplay merit and unblemished records in favour of his godson, a Major General, to succeed Lt. General Buratai, who is said to be highly favoured for the Chief of Defence Staff, job.
However, the President is said to be insisting on clean service records, local and international operational experience, geopolitical zone spread, religious sensitivity, and multiple lingual abilities, to guarantee regional cooperation that can bring about the total and quick defeat of Boko Haram.
