The Senate president, Godswill Akpabio, announced the confirmation during the plenary session yesterday in Abuja.

Mr Oluyede’s appointment was approved through a voice vote after Senator Abdulaziz Yar’Adua, the chairman of the Army Committee, presented the report.

President Bola Tinubu appointed Mr Oluyede as the acting chief of Army Staff on October 30, following the illness of his predecessor, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, who sadly passed away on November 5.

The president’s formal request for Mr Oluyede’s confirmation was read on the Senate floor on November 26 and subsequently referred to the Army Committee for screening.

During the report’s presentation, Senator Yar’adua, representing Katsina Central, informed the Senate that

Mr Oluyede had undergone thorough screening and met all the qualifications for the position.

“There were no petitions against the nominee, and the State Security Service (SSS) cleared him of any security concerns,” he noted while recommending the nominee’s confirmation.

Also, Senator Simon Lalong from Plateau South seconded the motion, emphasising the nominee’s competence and the importance of filling the critical role.

After deliberations, the Senate approved Mr Oluyede’s appointment, with most senators supporting the motion via voice vote.

In his remarks, Senate President Akpabio expressed optimism that Mr Oluyede’s leadership would help reduce banditry, terrorism, and other security challenges plaguing the country.

He congratulated the newly confirmed chief of Army Staff and extended prayers for the late Lieutenant General Lagbaja, acknowledging his contributions to national security.
