The presidency has supported the appointment of the retired service chiefs by President Buhari into new departments. The president’s spokesman Garba Shehu criticized the accusation and dissatisfaction emanating from the People’s Democratic Party.
According to him, he said, “The President is rewarding hard work and exceptional sacrifice by a set of military leaders who gave their best to the nation and will be remembered, sooner than later, for their contributions to the security and survival of Nigeria as one nation”.
