A group, Movement for the Survival and Integrity of the Niger Delta (MOSIEND), has hailed the minister of Defence General Christopher Gwabin Musa on his 58th birthday.
MOSIEND praised the former chief of defence staff (CDS) for his professionalism, courage, strategic brilliance, and unwavering patriotism.
A press release signed by Ambassador Kennedy Tonjo West, president of MOSIEND, said, “As a former chief of defence staff of the Nigerian Armed Forces, he distinguished himself through decisive leadership, effective inter-agency coordination, and a results-driven approach to complex security challenges.
“His tenure was marked by renewed operational synergy within the Armed Forces, improved morale, and a clear demonstration of bravery and resilience in theatres where the defence of Nigeria’s unity and sovereignty demanded uncommon sacrifice.
“His appointment by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, as Minister of Defence was neither incidental nor political—it was a deliberate choice anchored on proven expertise, deep institutional knowledge, and an enviable track record of results.
“General Musa is a bridge builder, a trailblazer, and a pan-Nigerian leader whose loyalty is to the flag and whose mission is the protection of every Nigerian, irrespective of region, faith, or background.
“MOSIEND expresses firm confidence that under his stewardship as Minister of Defence, Nigeria will steadily advance towards a future where citizens can sleep with both eyes closed, assured of a coordinated, professional, and responsive security architecture.
“His experience, strategic foresight, and calm command presence inspire hope that the nation’s security challenges will continue to be confronted with clarity, courage, and competence.
“Beyond the uniform, General Musa is a loving husband, devoted father, mentor, teacher, and philanthropist whose humility and humanity complement his strength and resolve. He has consistently shown the rare willingness to go any mile, tread any path, and bear any burden necessary for the preservation of Nigeria’s unity and collective destiny.
“As he celebrates this milestone, we pray for continued good health, renewed strength, divine wisdom, and even greater accomplishments in the years ahead. May his service continue to yield peace, stability, and lasting security for our beloved country.”
