Musa's Nomination as Defence Minister well-deserved, timely, reaffirmation of excellence - Kaduna Governor

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has congratulated the former Chief of Defence Staff, Retired General Christopher  Musa, on his nomination as the Minister of Defence by President Bola Tinubu.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Governor described the nomination as “well-deserved, timely and a reaffirmation of excellence.”

Sani said that it reflected the president’s determination to strengthen the nation’s security architecture amid the ongoing state of emergency on insecurity.

He commended Tinubu for what he called “a profound vote of confidence” in the Retired General’s integrity, competence and record of national service.

The governor, who said he had worked closely with Musa during his tenure as CDS, described him as “a round peg in a round hole,” praising his discipline, strategic insight and humane leadership style.

According to him, the Retired General played a significant role in restoring public trust in the Armed Forces.

Sani added, “For us in Kaduna State, General Musa’s nomination evokes deep gratitude.

“His wise counsel and firm support were instrumental in stabilising communities that once faced serious security challenges.

“The modest but significant gains we recorded bear his enduring imprint.”

Sani urged the Senate to expedite the screening and confirmation of the Minister-designate, saying that the country stood to benefit immensely from his experience and patriotism.

“Congratulations, General Christopher Gwabin Musa. Nigeria salutes your service,” the governor added.
