This followed a debate on the nation’s security during Wednesday’s plenary at the lower chamber of the National Assembly in Abuja.

Assessing their performances, the lawmakers called for the resignation of the service chiefs since President Muhammadu Buhari has refused to sack them.

In his remarks, one of the lawmakers, Abubakar Fulata, sought the redeployment of soldiers serving in the North-East.

He noted that the military personnel have stayed too long at the war front and were exhausted, stressing that they should be replaced to improve the onslaught against insurgents in the region.

Thereafter, Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, put the question, as moved by Fulata, to the lawmakers whether the service chiefs should resign and leave their offices.

Although there was a divide among the members in their response, a majority of the lawmakers answered in the affirmative and the resolution was passed.
