Tinubu asks Senate to confirm new service chiefs

President Bola Tinubu has asked the Senate to confirm the newly appointed Service Chiefs, following a major reshuffle in the nation’s military leadership.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the request during Tuesday’s plenary, saying that the nominations include General Olufemi Oluyede as Chief of Defence Staff, Major-General Waheedi Shaibu as Chief of Army Staff, Rear Admiral Idi Abbas as Chief of Naval Staff, Air Vice Marshal Kennedy Aneke as Chief of Air Staff, and Major-General Emmanuel Undiendeye as Chief of Defence Intelligence.

In his letter to the upper chamber, President Tinubu urged lawmakers to accord the request “expeditious consideration,” emphasizing the urgency of reinforcing Nigeria’s security architecture.

The Senate subsequently referred the request to the Committee of the Whole for screening and confirmation, scheduled for next week.

The new appointments follow a shake-up in the military hierarchy that saw General Oluyede replace General Christopher Musa as Chief of Defence Staff, while Major-General Undiendeye retained his position as Chief of Defence Intelligence.

According to presidential aide Sunday Dare, the changes were part of the administration’s ongoing efforts “to strengthen national security and enhance operational efficiency.”
