Christopher Musa, the former Chief of Defence Staff, has said that Nigeria should not expect foreigners to solve its security problems.
Speaking at a cultural night organised by the Unity Schools Old Students’ Association (USOSANS) in Abuja, Musa said the event showed how Nigerians can live and work together regardless of their differences.
“What we’re seeing today is how Nigeria is united, all together, one for all and all for one,” he said.
He added that despite different cultures, traditions and religions, Nigerians can still stand as one.
Musa urged citizens to reject division and put the country first.
“We must learn to live together, we must learn to love one another, we must learn to love our country. Nobody else will do it for us,” he said.
When asked about US President, Donald Trump’s threat of military action in Nigeria, Musa replied that “nobody will save our country other than ourselves. We must do it ourselves, and we can do it”.
