Suleiman’s motivation stemmed from his admiration for General CG Musa’s leadership qualities, which he believes have notably enhanced the security of lives and property since assuming office.
He specifically cited the people-centric approach of the CDS as the driving force behind his decision to show solidarity with the Armed Forces Chief.
Rabiu expressed his determination to travel to Abuja to convey his appreciation to the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) for his exceptional leadership, which has resulted in notable successes across various operational areas in the country.
He emphasised that his journey serves as evidence of the improved security situation in Nigeria, highlighting that previously, such travels would have been hindered by insecurity, particularly in the Northeast region.
