Hon. Jonathan Vatsa, an APC chieftain in Niger State, hailed President Bola Tinubu’s selection of Gen. Christopher Musa (retd) as Defence Minister, calling it the administration’s “best appointment so far.” Vatsa, a former Commissioner, stated Musa’s experience as a former Chief of Defence Staff makes him ideal for the role, citing widespread positive reactions to the appointment.
Vatsa stressed Nigeria faces a critical security situation and hardship, exacerbated by terrorist activities targeting Tinubu’s 2027 ambitions. He urged federal and state governments to equip Musa with necessary support, emphasizing that appointment alone is insufficient to tackle the country’s challenges.
