But, reacting to the appointments, Ekpa wondered if it would rid Tinubu’s government of perceived imbalances.

“I have observed how ignorant Nigerians are reacting to the appointment of New Service Chiefs, and I laugh. What magic will the new service chief do? Will they remove Shettima as the vice President? Will it change the Islamic state agenda, which is the reason for the insecurity and terrorism all over Nigeria? Will they abolish the 1989 Abuja declaration?

“Then I read that he appointed someone from Enugu state as Chief of Naval Staff, and I laughed. The Chief of Naval staff has always come from the South. Will the new service chief stop Biafra from Exiting Nigeria? Will they abolish the 1999 Constitution? Will they abolish the faulty amalgamation of Nigeria? Will they recover the ancestral land that was invaded by the Fulanis across Nigeria?NYSC Portal
