President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday appointed Vice Admiral Ola Ibrahim as the new Chief of Defence Staff.
A statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, said Ibrahim (Kwara State), who until his elevation was the Chief of Naval Staff, took over from Air Chief Marshal Oluseyi Petinrin, who has retired from service.
Jonathan also appointed Rear Admiral Dele Joseph Ezeoba from Delta State as the new Chief of Naval Staff and Air Vice Marshal Alex Sabundu Badeh as the new Chief of Air Staff.
He, however, retained Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika (Abia) as the Chief of Army Staff.
More details later.
