In a statement from its national coordinator, Hon. Baba Ransome Adamu, the group referred to Musa as “a man of peace, unity, and purpose.” Adamu lauded Musa’s time as Defence Chief, highlighting that his leadership fostered “relative peace, improved professionalism, and restored trust in Nigeria’s security forces.”
He also portrayed the former military leader as “a humble and equitable figure who is approachable despite his rank and accomplishments.”
“For many in Southern Kaduna, his name stands for hope and reconciliation in a region that has long sought unity and progress,” said Adamu. “As we approach 2027, we need a leader who can bring people together rather than create divisions; someone who can communicate with wisdom and conviction. General Musa embodies these qualities.”
The coalition insists that their support for Musa’s senatorial candidacy goes beyond just politics; it signifies a continuation of his devoted service to the nation. “He has already provided peace for Nigeria; now, we believe he can offer his people effective representation,” Adamu added.
The CGM Vanguard 2027 has commenced grassroots mobilization throughout the zone, promoting peace, unity, and leadership based on integrity under the motto: “From Peacekeeping to Nation Building — CGM 2027.”
