Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu argues that the law should be amended so that when a president appoints service chiefs, the appointments should be based on the highest rankings and should not be below that rank, because this results in higher-ranking generals being automatically retired. Deputy Senate President, Sen. Barau Jibrin, differs from Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu, stating that the CinC has the latitude to appoint service chiefs at any time as he wishes based on the country's security.
