Posting on X, he wrote: “General C.G Musa, as the Minister of Defence, will restore high morale and high confidence in the rank and file of the military across the country.
“It will further strengthen the confidence level of the Nigerian public in the willingness, readiness, and ability of the Nigerian Government to move forward and eliminate the threat of terrorism in our country.
“General Musa earned this office through merit, competency, and delivery, unlike the usual political consideration dominating ministerial positions. It can be said that he forms part of the Military Technocrats within the Tinubu Administration’s cabinet.
“I congratulate President Tinubu for this well-informed decision. I congratulate General C.G Musa for his new role.
“Most importantly, I congratulate Nigerians for standing firm on what is right, regardless of all other primordial considerations.
“Finally, I congratulate the terrorists, for what they wished others for, DEATH, has finally come to them. They should either surrender or die; no middle ground.”
