At “Special Abuja Power Touch,” Defence Minister Vows Tinubu’s Administration Will Overcome Forces Against Nigeria

Nigeria’s Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa (retd), has assured Nigerians that the administration of Bola Tinubu will overcome forces working against the nation.
Speaking on Friday night at the 2026 edition of the “Special Abuja Power Touch” programme hosted by Matthew Morakinyo and Pastor Mary Morakinyo of God’s City International Church (GCIC), Musa said although Nigeria is facing significant challenges, the country’s journey “through the wilderness” would ultimately lead to a glorious end.
The event, themed “All-Round Settlement,” was held at the Velodrome of the National Stadium, Abuja, and drew a large congregation.
Declaring that no one would be allowed to destroy Nigeria, the Defence Minister urged unity among citizens.
“We must unite against all enemies of Nigeria. We have a President who is doing his best to keep Nigeria united and great. Let us remain steadfast in prayer for the unity and survival of our dear country, Nigeria,” he said.
“So many evil people do not mean well for Nigeria, but one thing is sure; the Almighty God will put them all to shame.”
Musa, who served as the 18th Chief of Defence Staff from June 23, 2023, to October 30, 2025, before his nomination as Defence Minister on December 4, 2025, said God’s grace had sustained him throughout his career.
“This is the first time that I have come to this wonderful congregation. I never knew this programme was going to hold today until Pastor Israel came to my office today and insisted that I should be here,” he said.
The Minister also described himself as “a child of God not just by mouth but by deed,” adding that his current position was possible only by divine mercy.
During the programme, Pastor Morakinyo prayed for Nigeria and President Tinubu, declaring that insurgency in the country was over and that stability would take root nationwide. He also prayed for peace and tranquility before, during, and after the 2027 general elections.
The event featured song ministrations by gospel artistes including Steve Crown and Leke Gospel, alongside congregational praise and worship, testimonies, special choir ministrations, and a special song presentation by Pastor Mrs. Mary Morakinyo.
