Kayode OyeroOpposition Peoples Democratic Party has lampooned the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd. ), saying he acted late in appointing new service chiefs, “after much damage has been done”. The party also demanded the probe of the four immediate-past service chiefs to unravel the circumstances behind the security lapses during their tenure. The ex-service chiefs are General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin (Chief of Defence Staff); Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (Chief of Army Staff); Vice Admiral Ibok Ibas (Chief of Naval Staff); and Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar (Chief of Air Staff). The statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, was titled, ‘Appointment of New Service Chiefs Late But……., Says PDP …Demands Probe of Buratai, Others’.
