Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation has reacted to a statement by the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Worldwide, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on President Muhammadu Buhari’s sack of service chiefs.
Adeboye, over the weekend, said that sacking service chiefs abruptly will not solve the insecurity situation in the country.
Adeboye stated this while speaking at the headquarters of RCCG, The Throne of Grace, Ebute-Metta in Lagos, during a thanksgiving service with the theme, ‘Victory over marital storm’.
He said, “I believe the service chiefs are working and aside from those that have attained their retirement age, they have been studying the situation of the country in terms of security and would have some plans they are working on.
“If they are just changed, the new service chiefs would have to start all over again.
“I believe in good succession plan whereby those to replace the current service chiefs would learn from the incumbents and only need to continue from where they stop.”
Reacting, Fani-Kayode disagreed with Adeboye on his statement, adding that so many Nigerians have been killed.
On his Twitter page, he wrote: “More innocent souls have been killed by terrorist organisations in the last 4 years than at any other time in our history, yet a great man of God who we love and respect like Pastor Enoch Adeboye of RCCG will say that the Service Chiefs should not be changed? I humbly disagree!”
