The National Democratic Front (NDF) has called on the immediate past service chiefs to ensure that they make themselves available for consultations by the newly appointed successors.
The group said the past service chiefs' wealth of experience can be used by their new colleagues in ending the war against terrorism in Nigeria.
A statement signed by NDF's secretary-general, Bolaji Abudlkadir, and seen by Legit.ng applauded the numerous efforts and sacrifices made by the outgoing service chiefs.
Abdulkadir said the commitment displayed by the now-retired service chiefs helped in reducing the activities of criminals across various regions of the country.

His words:
"They have indeed written their names in gold and posterity would be kind to them whenever the history of Nigeria's Boko Haram insurgency is mentioned."
He said the outgoing chiefs have set lofty standards that must be sustained by the new appointees as they settle down for the business at hand.
Also, giving some advice to the newly appointed heads of security institutions, Abdulkadir urged them to desist from playing to the gallery as some disgruntled elements in the country would cause a distraction by questioning their credibility.
He commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his effort and support to the military in the fight against insurgency in Nigeria.
He also urged all well-meaning Nigerians to extend their support to the new service chiefs as they settle down for business.
