You Appointed Accountant, Teacher To Lead Defence Ministry – Atiku’s Aide Fires Tinubu
Paul Ibe, media advisor to Atiku Abubakar, criticized President Tinubu's handling of Nigeria's security challenges. Ibe argued that the persistent insecurity stems from Tinubu's prioritizing political patronage over competence in security appointments. He specifically questioned the nomination of a non-military figure, Gen. Christopher Musa (rtd), as Defence Minister, replacing Muhammadu Badaru. Ibe highlighted that neither the Defence Minister nor the Minister of State for Defence have military backgrounds, being former governors with limited success combating insecurity during their terms. He sees this as evidence of a "trial and error" approach by the Tinubu administration, detrimental to the nation's security.
