The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, says the service chiefs were changed because the president was concerned about how the security situations were being addressed.
Onanuga made this revelation on Thursday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television
He said, “I would say it’s a routine change. The President is concerned about the way the security situation is being addressed and he feels that it’s time to have some new people in-charge.
“He gave them a marching order that they should not allow the crisis that began in 2009 to resurface, 16 years of insurgency or war.
“The President told the new service chiefs that they should do everything possible that this insurgency ends.”
Speaking on the report of alleged attempted coup, Onanuga said, “It was a mere dissemination of rumour. I am a journalist but sometimes journalists report without asking themselves the benefit of the story to the Nigerian public.
