Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha has reacted to the calls for sack of the service chiefs over the increased attacks across the country. 

Speaking to newsmen after a book presentation titled CAN, Religion, politics and power in Nigeria former General Secretary of Christian Association of Nigeria(CAN) Engr Samuel Salifu on Tuesday February 18, Mustapha stated that adversaries will exploit deficiencies from the sack of the service chiefs and further destabilize the nation. 

The SGF added that there are processes that must be followed before the sack of the service chiefs. He told reporters; 

 “We are in a very difficult time now. We need everybody to be on board. We need synergy within intelligent community, within the military formations that will help fight this war.

“We are in a very difficult situation and when we begin to create cracks and divisions, who will be the beneficiaries?

“The adversaries are the ones that are going to exploit those deficiencies and further the cause of destabilising the nation. 

“At this moment, what we need is for everybody to be on the same page, fight the battle of securing the nation for protecting lives and property and ensuring that every Nigerian has the opportunity to live a prosperous live. I think that should be our main focus.

He added: “You don’t sack people like that. There are processes and I believe that at the opportune time, those processes will be followed. You don’t just wake up and say sack people, it doesn’t happen like that”.
