Akpabio Rejects ‘Bow and Go’ for Ex-CDS Musa, Cites Security Crisis and Global Scrutiny
Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday rejected calls for a “bow and go” clearance for former Chief of Defence Staff and ministerial nominee, Gen. Christopher Musa (rtd). The session became tense after Senator Sani Musa proposed waiving questions, prompting loud objections from lawmakers. Akpabio insisted that the nation’s worsening security situation—including the recent abduction of over 200 schoolchildren in Niger State—required a full public screening. He stressed that international attention, including remarks referencing Donald Trump, made rigorous scrutiny necessary. Order was restored, and the Senate conducted a full interrogation of the nominee shortly after President Tinubu’s request for his confirmation was read.
