Lagos lawyer, Festus Keyamo says he has
been vindicated by the sack of the Service Chiefs by President Goodluck
Jonathan in compliance to a court’s judgment.
Keyamo had last week issued the president
14-day ultimatum to sack the service chiefs in compliance of a court’s judgment,
threatening to head back to court to enforce compliance.
The Federal High Court in the case of
Festus Keyamo Vs. President and 4 others, had declared the previous
appointments of the service chiefs null and void.
Less than one week after Keyamo’s threat,
Jonathan on Thursday sacked the service chiefs and re-appointed new ones which
followed the due process.
In the president’s ring of change, Air
Marshal Alex Badeh was sacked and replaced by Admiral Ola Sa’ad Ibrahim as
Chief of Defence Staff, while Major-General Kenneth Tobiah Jacob Minimah
replaced the sacked Lt.-General Azubike O. Ihejirika as Chief of Army Staff. Read the rest of the story @ The African Examiner
