The newly appointed service chiefs have declared full-blown war against the insecurity in the country, saying there is no room for failure under the President
“Anybody, especially the criminals, bandits, terrorists or anyone, who thinks otherwise, should be ready to face the music. The Nigerian armed forces will come out in full force while safeguarding the safety and security of the citizenry. That, I’ll assure you.
He said, “I am handing over to an officer who is tested and by all standards a model for the armed forces. I appreciate the president for finding Major General Musa very suitable to take over the reins of the armed forces. Lagbaja said, “Today, history has made it my turn to be the one the almighty God has favoured to receive the mantle of leadership of the Nigerian Army.
“Currently we are witnessing more than ever before massive surrender by repentant insurgents in the North East in a manner that beats the expectation of any observer local and international”.Lagbaja who promised to improve on the legacies of his predecessors of a proficient and professional Nigeria Army said hard work will be rewarded under his watch.
Undiandeye who made the vow in Abuja when he formally took over from the immediate past CDI, Maj-Gen Samuel Adebayo, warned criminals and any other Nigerian nursing the intention to plot evil against the country to shelve the idea with immediate effect. “With all the resources, both human and material, I think it behooves on us that we succeed at all times because insecurity means loss of human lives and we must secure people from unnecessary deaths. That’s what I meant by there is no room for failure.
He said, “I thank Mr President for giving me the opportunity to serve the nation at this point in time, I will not let him and the nation down. On his part, the erstwhile CDI said he was happy and believed that he was leaving the agency in the hand of a capable officer. He also thanked President Bola Tinubu for entrusting him with the responsibility, adding the president’s unwavering commitment to the security and prosperity of the nation is an inspiration to him.
