Sani said the people of Kaduna State are proud of Musa’s
accomplishment as CDS.

He noted that the people of the state appreciate his
stewardship while in office.

Posting on X, he wrote: “Periodic changes in the leadership
structure of our security services are essential in order to achieve results.

“The lack of courage to do this in the past is partly
attributed to the failures of the nation’s battle against insecurity.

“For us in Kaduna, we appreciate the service and stewardship
of the outgoing CDS General Musa. We are proud of his accomplishments. We Wish
him well in his future endeavours.”

A statement by Tinubu’s spokesman, Sunday Dare, said the
president made changes in the hierarchy of the Service Chiefs in furtherance of
the efforts of Nigeria to strengthen the national security architecture.

According to the statement, Tinubu appointed General Olufemi
Oluyede to replace General Christopher Musa as the new Chief of Defence Staff.

The new Chief of Army Staff is Major-General W. Shaibu. Air
Vice Marshall S.K Aneke is Chief of Air Staff while Rear Admiral I. Abbas is
the new Chief of Naval Staff.

Chief of Defence Intelligence Major-General E.A.P Undiendeye
retains his position.
