Group Urges CDS To Replicate North-East Success In South-East

• The National Peace Advocate (NPA) has welcomed the National Assembly’s quick confirmation of the Chief of Defence Staff, Maj. Gen. C. G. Musa, and other service chiefs
• The NPA believes that the new service chiefs have the potential to sustain the synergy and drive against terrorists and bandits
• The NPA has appealed to those who are causing crisis in the South-East to lay down arms

The National Peace Advocate (NPA) welcomed the National Assembly’s quick confirmation of the Chief of Defence Staff, Maj. Gen. C. G. Musa, and other service chiefs yesterday.

In a press release, the NPA stated that the rapid confirmation demonstrated the NASS’s confidence in the CDS and the other service chiefs.

President Bola Tinubu made the right choice in the new service chiefs, according to a press release signed by NPA commander Obinna Obiozor, because they have the potential to sustain the synergy and drive against terrorists and bandits put in place by their immediate predecessors.

The distinguished members of the senate are not unaware of the sterling performance of the CDS during his time as Theater Commander, Operation Hadin Kai. Hence, the confidence reposed in him to quickly get down to work.

We congratulate the CDS and his team for the confirmation of their appointments by the National Assembly.

For the CDS, Nigerians want to quickly see you repeat the magic that saw people of the North-East begin to return to their various means of livelihood during your tenure as Theater Commander, Operation Hadin Kai.

We use this opportunity to appeal to those who are causing crisis in the South-East to lay down arms. The economic development of that region is being affected negatively. We cannot continue to destroy ourselves.

We are confident that the Armed Forces of Nigeria under the Chief of Defence Staff, Maj. Gen. C. G. Musa has an answer for those who don’t want peace and development to reign in the South-East, the group added.
