Do you even know that a minister cannot command troops ... He cannot give any troop a direct command .... Only an administrative aspect of the job tho

My excitement knows no bounds. Great appointment if true. Gen Musa was good. All this nonsense wasn't under his watch.

Tell us any country in the world where the Defence Minister is a serving personnel. Any country.

Instead of you to stick to your chemist shop, you go dey do chochocho.

Probably North korea or the countries in the Sahel ruled by military juntas.

Excellent and a perfect combination with his former colleagues.

The same ibo people who.have said Tinubu remove Christopher musa because he is killing Fulani too much. ..now I wonder what the same Ibo people will say now....


All these Ibo people who are always tend towards bad news about the country

Would be Welcome development if confirmed

Imagine what you are saying using ALL as if apart from Badaru President Tinubu has appointed any other minister of Defense, to crown it all, Badaru is an accountant. Even Badaru's deputy Matawale is a professional teacher so how does carrying chalk translates to carrying guns. It is unequivocally known that there are about two ministers of defense since the inception of democracy in Nigeria that were military personnel: General Theophilus during OBJ and General Mansur Dan Ali during Yar Adua and Jonathan the website of the defense as a reference point is there to verify.

Even Jonathan appointed Aliyu Gusau a former COAS
Mansur Dan Alli was appointed by Buhari and he replaced him with Magashi another former General
Yaradua never appointed a former army officer as minister of defence

I know this the resignation of the former minister is to pave way for CG Musa to take up the new role as Defense. I hope they won't give the former Minister a new role oooo. Let him go and take care of his health ooo.

You see this former defence minister eeh e carry oil for head just like our former vp Osinbanjo. I say this because the moment he assumed office the killings in southern kaduna that was prevalent, a week never goes by without gruesome attacks been perpetrated.

E shock me, people use words they're not familiar with anyhow, maybe he was trying to show off

Oga this is an honest mistake after all this is a popular idiom and it was a misconception from my side base on ignorance that I meant it to be the same thing with a "round peg in a round hole".

Tinubu is taking every bold step to correct all the wrong decisions that’s worsen or security situation.

Thank God he’s listening to reasoning.

Nigeria must be great again.

By bringing back a sacked defence chief?

AMINDA:
He's undoing his mess but at what cost? The two ministers of defence had no business being there in the first place but he passed up on other competent people and went ahead to appoint them despite outcry by most people in the North. He's currently doing the same in his choice of ambassadors now and will still get hailed by you when it inevitably backfires and he attempts to fix it. We can't continue to be running a government on trial and error. This isn't the Tinubu that was sold to us as having the ability to hunt for talents to work with. His entire cabinet and choice of appointees is lacklustre and underwhelming.

Abeg Musa you are rooting for now ,did you know him before? Who brought him to limelight?
Did you agree he was doing well before they removed him?

look, the only mistake there was that I said Mansur Dan Alli was appointed by Yardua and Jonathan and mind you I did not say it was only him and Theophilus Danjuma that were generals or military personnel so stop jumping like Kangaroo but read to understand and comprehend. Equally, the bone of contention is whether or not has Tinubu appointed any other minister of defense left alone them being CDS or Chief of Army staff as erroneously stated by you with a full blown dry chest. Finally, I stand by words again Badaru is an accountant, Matawale is a teacher and 80% of the 13 ministers of defense since democracy were civilians. We have 8 civilians and 5 career military officers. But you went on to say Tinubu has numerous appointed ministers of defense and all of them were military officers try to the blow small! small!!

Nice one. A square peg in a square hole

Tinubu had actually made wrong decisions but you couldn't point them out before now.

Very True. I like the President proactive moves and actions.

Indeed Nigeria will overcome whatever challenges

Stop Embarrassing yourself!

How can serving officer hold a civilian post of Defense Minister.. Are we military?

Wrong decisions he made to put us in this situation, thank God for Trump for putting the fear of God in him.

Bro! that was a mistake made out of ignorance abi you no dey make mistake? the way some people are acting makes me feel they are bank of knowledge just a simple mistake that demands a simple correction will avail someone to make some scathing remarks while forgetting the context of the discussion.

'Scathing'? Again you're using words that aren't necessary or apropos for the situation at hand. I didn't use any scathing remark when I quoted you, I simply asked you if you understood what you typed, that's literally all I said. Where's the scathing remark there? Being overly emotional, especially for an online comment, is not the plus you think it is
