Chief of Army Staff said it was solemn to pray for the repose of the soul of the late army chief and other officers who died in the unfortunate crash.
After the death of Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, President Muhammadu Buhari wants the Senate to confirm Maj.-Gen. Farouk Yahaya as the new army chief.
The postponement is in honour of the memory of the late Chief of Army Staff and 10 other military officers who died in a plane crash in Kaduna on Friday.
Mr Buhari had on April 30 and May 4 met with the security chiefs and heads of intelligence community as part of the ongoing “critical engagements.”
