Following the sack of all Security Chiefs and appointment of new ones by President Bola Tinubu, former Aviation Minister and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said that Nigeria now has a new lease of life and the light of God has begun to dispel the thick darkness and tangible cloud of stagnation holding the country back. Recall that President Tinubu on Monday sacked the Chief of Defence Staff, all the nation’s Service Chiefs, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Baba Alkali, as well as the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali.
Fani-Kayode Many stakeholders have applauded the president for the bold step to reform and clean the Federal system, which has been made evident by removing some bigwigs from key positions starting from the Central Bank Governor, Emefiele, EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa. On Monday, the president further sacked all security chiefs and named their replacement. Reacting, FFK, in a statement on Tuesday, said the staunch supporters of Tinubu, who believed in his capability amid criticism, have been vindicated. He said, “No leader or President in the history of our country has effected so many positive changes and reforms and appointed so many credible, decisive, courageous and effective people into key positions in his administration within THREE weeks of being sworn into office as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@officialABAT). “Today, even his most ardent critics and those that bent over backwards to stop, discredit, denigrate, humiliate and destroy him during the presidential campaign are commending him. “He has made those of us that recognised and appreciated his value and potential, had faith in him, risked all, stood with him and fought for him proud and most importantly, we have been vindicated. “Thanks to BAT, Nigeria now has a new lease of life and the light of God has begun to dispel the thick darkness and tangible cloud of stagnation, retrograde and retrogressive policies, monumental corruption, vicious persecution, selective application of justice, abuse of power, incomprehensible incompetence and wholesale and malicious impunity that we have witnessed over the last few years”.
