In the letter sent on Friday, President Tinubu, in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, sought Oluyede’s confirmation in accordance with the provision of Section 218(2) of the 1999 Constitution as amended and Section 18(1) of the Armed Forces Act.

Recall that President Tinubu appointed Oluyede as the Acting Chief of Army Staff on October 30 following the illness of the then COAS, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja.

General Lagbaja, however, died on November 5.

Onanuga noted that President Tinubu was confident about the leadership qualities, professional integrity, and experience of Lt. General Oluyede to lead and inspire the Army to ensure national security and stability.

Before he was appointed Acting Chief of Army Staff, Oluyede, a member of the 39th Regular Course, like his predecessor, served as the 56th Commander of the elite Infantry Corps of the Nigerian Army, based in Jaji, Kaduna State.
