Femi Fani-Kayode believes the appointment fits Ribadu and will perform his duties well.
“Those that say only a military man can handle the position of NSA are ignorant”, he said.
Fani-Kayode said, “Those that say only a military man can handle the position of NSA are ignorant.
“Amongst the best that held that position in our history were retired police and/or intelligence officers such as Umaru Shinkafi, Gambo Jimeta and Ismaila Gwarzo.
“I have no doubt that my brother Nuhu Ribadu, who is a retired police officer, once confirmed as NSA, will acquit himself well and follow in the footsteps of these three reverred men.”
