The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has called for unity among Nigerians, irrespective of their religious affiliations, urging citizens to remain united, work together, and foster love for one another in order to ensure the country’s security, growth and progress.

He made the call at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja on Thursday night during the breaking of the fast with the Muslim faithful, in line with his people-centric leadership style and in the spirit of Ramadan.


The CDS, while emphasizing that unity and collaboration are essential for the country’s development, said, “Let’s always remember that God Almighty is the one who has created us, who has brought us to this world, who has put us as Nigerians.”


According to him, anybody looking at them would not know who is a Christian or who is a Muslim.


“And that God has a purpose for putting us together and it is not to destroy ourselves but to build ourselves on. So I want to encourage us in whatever ways we find ourselves”, he said.


He stressed that breaking the fast on the 6th day with Muslims, after the commencement of lent for the Christians, showed that God did not make mistakes and that we are one.


“So you see, God has a purpose that we are all here all at the same time.”


General Musa continued, “There are a lot of people that don’t know us well for whatever reasons they have, but God Almighty is with us, and He will never let us down. So I want to thank everybody for being here.


“I am really excited to be here. And we still have time to come, not just for today alone. It is a very good and a very wonderful occasion.”


He said, “It is nostalgic as I was born in Sokoto, and this is what we normally do during the Ramadan period.
