Ohanaeze throws behind NASS over removal of service chiefs

Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has applauded the National Assembly over call for the removal of all service chiefs in the country, says their continuous retention of power poses further threat to the entire citizens and country.

In a statement Emeka Attamah, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Nnia Nwodo, wondered
why the Federal Government has refused to save the nation from undeserved calamity.

The statement read in part, “ What was special about the current service chiefs that made them indispensable? It is unconstitutional to keep a worker in service long after he is due for retirement.

“It was not surprising that there are overt dissensions in the military with soldiers resigning in their numbers due to dissatisfaction and disaffection coupled with the alleged corruption in the force.

“The situation now suggests that there is more to their retention than the interest of the country which the Federal government needs to explain to Nigerians. ”
