The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has waded into calls from different quarters for President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the service chiefs over the present security challenges confronting the nation.
The revered cleric spoke through Assistant General Overseer, Administration and Personnel, Pastor Johnson Odesola at the headquarters of the church in Ebute-Metta,Lagos, during a thanksgiving service with the theme, ‘Victory over marital storm’.
Adeboye said that sacking the service chiefs would not provide immediate resolution of the security challenges.
He noted that service chiefs have invaluable experience that a new appointee lacks.
The septuagenarian stated that if new service chiefs must be appointed, they must understudy the current ones to ease the process of transition of power.
He said, “I believe the service chiefs are working and aside from those that have attained their retirement age, they have been studying the situation of the country in terms of security and would have some plans they are working on.
“If they are just changed, the new service chiefs would have to start all over again.
“I believe in good succession plan whereby those to replace the current service chiefs would learn from the incumbents and only need to continue from where they stop.”
