Nigeria’s Minister of Defence, Gen. Christopher Musa, has called on Nigerians to continue supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, insisting that the administration’s reforms require more time to achieve their intended results.

Musa made the appeal during a recent interview with journalists, where he argued that many of the country’s current challenges are rooted in long-standing issues that previous administrations failed to address.

“Tinubu Is Taking Bold Decisions”

According to the Defence Minister, President Tinubu has demonstrated courage by confronting problems that had been ignored for years.

He said the administration’s policies may be difficult for many citizens at the moment but maintained that the reforms are necessary for Nigeria’s long-term stability and development.

“If he could have done this in three years, imagine if he has four or five additional years to finish. We need Nigerians to understand that a lot of things that were left out are what he is tackling. He is taking very bold action,” Musa said.

Calls for Patience Amid Hardship

The minister acknowledged the economic and social difficulties many Nigerians are facing but urged citizens to remain patient.

Using childbirth as an analogy, Musa said periods of hardship often precede positive outcomes.

“When you take bold action, there will be difficulty at the beginning, but at the end of it, it’s just like a woman that is pregnant. Immediately she delivers, she’ll be joyful. What we are going through is making us stronger, and we are going to come out better,” he added.

Mixed Public Reactions

Musa’s comments have sparked debate on social media, with supporters agreeing that major reforms often require time before benefits become visible.

However, critics argue that many Nigerians are struggling with rising living costs, unemployment and security concerns, making it difficult to embrace calls for patience.

Despite the criticism, the Defence Minister expressed confidence that Nigeria would emerge stronger if the current administration is allowed to complete its reform agenda.
