The South South zonal chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has congratulated the new Service Chiefs on their appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The president had on Monday sacked the former service chiefs and National Security Adviser and immediately announced their replacements.
National Vice Chairman, South South APC, Chief Hillliard Eta, in a statement yesterday, described the promotions and appointment as commendable.
He, however, charged the new Service Chiefs to view their elevation as a call to greater service.
“I congratulate the new Service Chiefs on their well-earned appointments by the president yesterday. Having meritoriously served the fatherland all these years, the promotions could not have been more auspicious.
“It is important to bear in mind that leading the nation’s armed forces in this period of heightened insecurity is no mean feat. In this light, we look forward to partnering with them in their new capacities as we toil to steer our country towards the path of peace and progress”, the statement said.
Mr. Eta also applauded the appointment of the Chief of Naval Staff from the South South.
He expressed appreciation to Buhari for considering the South South, as according to him, it is the sign of good things to come as the president has promised to be fair to all parts of Nigeria.
“I particularly salute our compatriot from the South South, Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, on his assumption of office as the Chief of Naval Staff. As a gallant and ranking officer from the zone, we expect him to do us proud by discharging his duties efficiently.
“I must also commend Mr. President for giving Cross River State a new sense of belonging, in view of the fact that the state was wholly sidelined by the last administration. We stand solidly in his support to make his government a success”, he added.
