President Buhari Reveals How the New Service Chiefs Were Picked

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday explained that the new
service chiefs were appointed based on merit.
The President made the disclosure while addressing them shortly after
their appointments were announced.
He said, ''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''.
