Again, Buhari Under Pressure As Senate Ordered Him to Sack Service Chiefs

BY MUHAMMED RABO ALIYU

The senate has today called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the overstayed service chiefs.

This followed a motion at the upper legislative chamber sponsored by former borno state governor senator Kashim Shettima, senator representing Borno central.
The request by the lawmakers is coming six months after they asked the service chiefs to resign.
Gen. Gabriel Olonisakin, chief of defence staff; Tukur Buratai, chief of army staff; Sadique Abubakar, chief of air staff, and Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, chief of naval staff, are all overdue for retirement.
Shettima had drawn the attention of senators to the killing of 45 farmers at Kwashabe village, about 20 kilometers north of Maiduguri, Borno’s capital.
