Reacting, Dantata said, “In the first place, no one expected it. It came as a surprise.
“Then going beyond that, Mr. President Tinubu is the Commander-in-Chief and, at any time, he has the constitutional right to relieve any Service Chiefs of their duties.
“World over, this is the practice. Once you appoint Service Chiefs, particularly when you are facing insecurity, if you are not getting the results they were appointed for, you relieve them and put new ones in.”
