Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari surprised everyone when he replaced all the service chiefs, and immediately appointed new officers to take their positions.
However, not much was said during the short meeting with the new Service Chiefs.
Here are the 7 things the President said below: -
1. All of you, including the National Security Adviser, were chosen on merit.

3. I don’t know any of you.
4. Your records recommended you.
5. Legally, you are in acting capacity until the National Assembly accepts you.
6. It is only then that you will take the oath of office.
7. Thereafter, we will sit down and talk in more detail.
