Retired General Christopher Musa, recently appointed as Nigeria’s Minister of Defence, has reportedly advised soldiers to respond decisively when attacked by terrorists, allegedly instructing them not to wait for formal orders before defending themselves. This claim has generated discussions across the country, especially among those who believe stronger military action is urgently needed.
Many Nigerians are confident that General Musa has the experience and strategic capacity to make meaningful progress in the fight against terrorism and banditry, provided he is given the freedom to perform his duties without political interference. They argue that those who appointed him should allow him to operate independently, as he understands the complexities of dealing with insurgents far better than politicians.
As a retired General with years of frontline and leadership experience, expectations are high. Citizens are hopeful that Christopher Musa will move swiftly to dismantle terrorist networks and restore peace to troubled regions. According to public sentiment, Nigeria urgently needs a Defence Minister who can act decisively and professionally in the interest of national security.
Nigerians are counting on him to deliver visible results and create an environment where citizens can once again live without fear. Whether he succeeds will depend on the support he receives and the level of independence he is allowed to exercise in carrying out his mandate.
