The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has emphasised the importance of national unity and citizen collaboration in the fight against all security threats in Nigeria.
Speaking at the Voice of Nigeria (VON) Forum yesterday in Abuja, General Musa warned that misinformation, division, and silence only enable terrorism to thrive.
He noted that “If the military fails, the nation fails — and Nigeria will not fail,l ” He further highlighted the armed forces’ enduring loyalty to the security and lives of the citizenry.
The CDS urged citizens to support soldiers who have sacrificed life and limb for the country’s peace, and condemned those who celebrate national setbacks instead of promoting the positive developments in the country.
General Musa stressed that real change depends on internal effort, but not external rescue. “No one will come from outside to liberate Nigeria. We must tell our own stories. Together, we shall build a united Nigeria that works,” he said.
The CDS called on Nigerians to unite in the fight against insecurity to achieve maximum results.
Enugu Reporters reports that the CDS’s remarks underscore the critical role of the military in maintaining national security and the need for collective action to address the country’s challenges.
His statement also highlights the importance of supporting the military and promoting national unity.
The CDS called on all to support the military and other security agencies, promote accurate information and counter misinformation, foster national unity and cooperation, as well as encourage internal effort and self-reliance.
He noted that working together was a developing virtue to build a more secured and prosperous future for Nigerians and future generations.
