Ex-Borno governor defends motion for sack of former service chiefs
January 29, 2021
A former Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima, has defended his motion last year at the Senate for the removal of the former service chiefs.
He also commended President Muhammadu Buhari for finally yielding to the call and replacing them.
Mr Shettima, now senator for Borno Central district, had moved the Senate motion calling for the sack of the former service chiefs.
The motion followed the massacre of about 70 rice farmers in Zabarmari area of Jere Local Government Area of Borno.
Speaking with journalists on Thursday night in Maiduguri, Mr Shettima said he joined other Nigerians to call for the replacement of the military chiefs despite some of them being his kinsmen and friends.
