Newly appointed service chiefs

 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the new Services Chiefs to urgently restore professionalism and boost the morale of troops across the country. 

PDP in a statement on Tuesday asked the new leaders of the Armed Forces to ensure not to fall into the indolence, corruption, recklessness, abuse of process, and partisanship that characterized the tenure of the last service chiefs.

“The new commanders must note that Nigerians are looking up to them as professionals to remove terrorists, bandits, and other outlaws ravaging our nation from our landscape,” the PDP’s statement read in part.

The PDP further demanded an immediate inquest into the tenure of the last service chiefs to unravel the circumstances behind the security lapses and compromises as well as accusation of involvement in the alleged looting of funds meant for the equipping and welfare of our troops in the front.

The party insisted that this is the sure step towards sanitizing the security architecture as well as lifting the morale of those in the front lines risking their lives for the security of our nation.

PDP expressed hope that the new service chiefs will brace up to the challenges of the nation and noted that their appointment at this time, more than at any other point in the nation’s history, demands a huge sense of commitment, responsibility, and determination to secure the country and restore peace, order and national cohesiveness in the polity.
