Buhari appoints new ADC few days after sacking service chiefs

President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed the Academy Adjutant of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Lieutenant-Colonel Yusuf Muktar Dodo, as his new Aide-de-Camp (ADC).

Lt.-Col. Dodo is taking over from Colonel Mohammed Lawal Abubakar, who is proceeding to resume a promotion course, after which he would be promoted to the Brigadier-General rank, along with some others, the Nation reports.

The development came few days after Buhari showed the service chiefs exit door.

Although there is not likely to be an official release on the development to the media, sources within the Aso Rock Presidential Villa have confirmed it.
