Niger Delta Group Backs Defence Minister Musa's Strategy

A Niger Delta group has publicly backed Defence Minister General Christoph Musa, commending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's strategy in addressing insecurity in Nigeria, particularly in the northern regions. The group described Musa's appointment as fitting, asserting that he is dedicated to combating insurgency.

They criticized Abdul Danbatur, a member of the Arewa Youth, for calling for Musa's dismissal and labeled his comments as unprovoked attacks and blackmail. The group emphasized the need for support for Musa, who has dedicated years to serving the nation, and urged Danbatur and others to apologize for their remarks.

They highlighted the importance of unity in the fight against terrorism, stating that Musa's Christian background should not be a basis for persecution. The group called for a collective effort to support the military in flushing out bandits and terrorists in Northern Nigeria, asserting that the people of the Niger Delta stand with Musa in this critical fight.
