The NPA, in a statement released on Saturday by Commander Obinna Obiozor, stated that this quick confirmation demonstrates the NASS’s confidence in the newly appointed leaders.
Obiozor commended President Bola Tinubu for making the right choice in selecting the new service chiefs, believing that the service chiefs have the potential to sustain the collaboration and efforts against terrorists and bandits initiated by their predecessors.
“The distinguished members of the Senate are well aware of the remarkable performance of the Chief of Defence Staff during his tenure as Theater Commander, Operation Hadin Kai. Therefore, their confidence in him is well placed,” the statement read.
It further congratulated the Chief of Defence Staff and his team on the confirmation of their appointments by the National Assembly and urged the Chief of Defence Staff to replicate the successes achieved in the Northeast region during his time as Theater Commander, Operation Hadin Kai, and to address the ongoing crisis in the Southeast.
“We appeal to those causing unrest in the Southeast to lay down their arms. The region’s economic development is being adversely affected, and we cannot continue to destroy ourselves,” the statement said.
It expressed confidence in the Armed Forces of Nigeria under the leadership of Chief of Defence Staff, Maj. Gen. C. G. Musa, asserting that they possess the capability to address those who are obstructing peace and development in the South East.
