The Presidency has refuted media
reports quoting President Jonathan as explaining that the former Service Chiefs
were sacked because of “unhealthy competition” amongst them.

A statement by Presidential
Spokesman, Reuben Abati, said the mischief and reckless sensationalism, by a
section of the media, deliberately chose to misrepresent the President’s innocent
and clear call for greater synergy and inter-service cooperation in the war
against terrorism.
Dr Abati said President Jonathan
did not at anytime during his remarks in Yola, Adamawa State say that the
former chiefs were guilty of undue rivalry, nor did he say, as claimed by some
newspapers, that such unhealthy rivalry was responsible for recent security
breaches in Adamawa and other parts of the country.
Dr Abati said President Jonathan has
nothing but praise for the manner in which the outgoing service chiefs executed
their most daunting constitutional duties.
