Buhari however noted that the new military Chiefs are in acting capacity until they are confirmed by the National Assembly. He said that he would have detailed discussion with them after their confirmation.
“All of you, including the national security adviser, were chosen on merit. Your records gave you the job. Save for the new chief of army staff, whom I briefly met at his command at the Multi-National Joint Task Force, in Chad, I don’t know any of you. Your records recommended you.
“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,” the statement said.
