General Christopher Musa (Rtd), the designated Minister of Defense, has promised to implement a zero-tolerance stance against terrorism and banditry once he takes office.
It was stated that the former general spoke during his senatorial screening in Abuja on Wednesday.
Musa promised Senators that he will deploy robust and decisive tactics to face the country’s security issues.
The previous Chief of Defence Staff underscored that his leadership will not hesitate to employ the full force of the armed forces against criminal elements destabilising communities.
He remarked, “There will be zero policy on anything banditry or terrorism under my watch. We are going to go out. I will make sure that the armed forces will go out fully because security is localised.”
It was claimed that Musa is now being vetted by the Nigeria Senate ahead of his confirmation.
Musa’s nomination came a day after the ex-Minister of Defence, Abubakar Badaru, offered his resignation.
Tinubu, in a letter addressed to the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, on Tuesday, requested the senators to consider the former CDS’ candidacy.
The correspondence was read by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, during plenary.
