Removal of service chiefs: No President in the history of this country has effected so much change in three weeks as Tinubu – Femi Fani-Kayode

Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has commended President Bola Tinubu for his recent political activities over the past three weeks.

The president has garnered praise for implementing ongoing reforms and initiating a system cleanup, as evidenced by the removal of prominent figures from key positions.

Since his inauguration on May 29, Tinubu has dismissed and replaced several public officeholders.

Last week, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, was sacked by the president. Shortly after, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, was also removed.

Furthermore, on Monday, the president terminated the appointments of all security chiefs and announced their replacements.

In response, Femi Fani-Kayode issued a statement on Tuesday, expressing his admiration for Tinubu and asserting that steadfast supporters who maintained their belief in Tinubu’s capabilities have been vindicated, despite facing criticism.

He said, “No leader or President in the history of our country has effected so many positive changes and reforms and appointed so many credible, decisive, courageous and effective people into key positions in his administration within THREE weeks of being sworn into office as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@officialABAT).

“Today, even his most ardent critics and those that bent over backwards to stop, discredit, denigrate, humiliate and destroy him during the presidential campaign are commending him.

“He has made those of us that recognised and appreciated his value and potentials, had faith in him, risked all, stood with him and fought for him proud and most importantly, we have been vindicated.

“Thanks to BAT, Nigeria now has a new lease of life and the light of God has began to dispel the thick darkness and tangible cloud of stagnation, retrograde and retrogressive policies, monumental corruption, vicious persecution, selective application of justice, abuse of power, incomprehensible incompetence and wholesale and malicious impunity that we have witnessed over the last few years”.
