President Buhari meets with new service chiefs shortly after their appointments at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday July 13, while speaking with them, Buhari charged the newly-appointed security chiefs to rebuild the reputation of the armed forces and prove that they were appointed on merit as he had no previous relationship with any of them.
''All of you, including the national security adviser, were chosen on merit,'' he said. ''Your records gave you the job. Save for the new chief of army staff whom I briefly met at his command at the multinational joint task force, in Chad, I don't know any of you. Your records recommended you.
He assured them that their nominations would be sent soon to the national assembly for confirmation.
''Legally, you are in acting capacity until the national assembly accepts you. It is only then that you will take the oath of office. Thereafter, we will sit down and talk in more detail.''
