The President said the letter is in compliance with Section 218 of the 1999 constitution.

President Bola Tinubu has asked the House of Representatives to confirm Lieutenant General, Olufemui Oluyede as the Chief of Army Staff.

Tinubu made the request on Tuesday in a letter addressed to the House and read by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen during plenary.

“The powers conferred on the President by subsection (1) of this section shall include power to appoint the Chief of Defence staff, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Naval Staff, the Chief of Air Staff and heads of any other branches of the armed forces of the Federation as may be established by an Act of the National Assembly,” section 218 reads.
