As Nigerians continue to react to the news of the change of the country's service chiefs, a cross-section of senators have hailed it as a welcome development.

Galaxy's Godfrey Eshiemoghie reports that Senators Opeyemi Bamidele and Ibrahim Oloriegbe said the change was long overdue and what may very well be the beginning of measures to address the worsening insecurity in the country.

This is a particularly familiar narrative from members of the Nigerian Parliament who have been in the forefront among those calling for the sack of the service chiefs.
