President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday in Abuja approved the appointment of Vice Admiral Ola Ibrahim from Kwara as the new Chief of Defence Staff.

A statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Reuben Abati, said Rear Admiral D. J. Ezeoba from Delta was appointed as the new Chief of Naval Staff.

The statement said that Air Vice Marshall A.S. Badeh, from Adamawa, was also appointed as Chief of Air Staff.

“The incumbent Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, retained his position.”

The statement said Jonathan thanks the outgoing service chiefs for their meritorious and commendable service to the nation and wished them well in their future endeavours.

Ihejirika and the three retired Service Chiefs were appointed by Jonathan on Sept. 8, 2010.

The retired Service Chiefs are former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshall Oluseyi Petinrin and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Mohammed Umar.

Before his new appointment, Ibrahim was Chief of Naval Staff.

PStylish:

He's from Ilorin.

But I'm not sure if he is Yoruba or Fulani even though he has a Yoruba name.

There are Fulani indigenes of Ilorin even though they bear Yoruba names and speak Yoruba. e.g
Kolapo Sulu-Gambari (the Emir)

Ibrahim Agboola Gambari (fmr UN envoy)

Olusola Saraki

Bukola Saraki

e.t.c

Congratulations to the new CDS. Wishing him a successful tenure.
olusola and bukola saraki are yorubas

Really? You've definitely not been Nigeria, else you would've known that army officers held that post most of the time. The Airforce only held it 2 (post military-rule), and the navy once or so.

The reason why Yorubas are not there is because they are not good managers, Yorubas are only good in Embezzlement,
Jonathan should create a new ministry call Ministry of Looting and Embezzlement only for the Yorubas, that is what they know best, they are good on it.
