The Presidential candidate of Action Alliance (AA) Major Hamza Al-Mustapha (rtd) in the February 25, 2023 election, May likely be the appointed by by the Federal Government as Commandant General of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

Sources reveled to Guardian that the nomination of the former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, was in line with President Bola Tinubu’s resolve to reposition the security architecture.

Al-Mustapha, had deplored the security situation in the country, particularly when former President Muhammadu Buhari held sway.

Delivering his keynote address at a roundtable on “Contemporary security challenges and their effects on 2023 general election”, he had warmed that Nigeria was sitting on a keg of gunpowder owing to pervasive arms and hard drugs in circulation.

Stating that the trend posed danger to the polls, the soldier-turned-politician disclosed that Nigerians needed to start asking questions on whether the cache of arms was meant to reinforce insurgency.

However, he stated that several victims of insurgency still litter all over the country and there are leadership deficit in Nigeria at all levels. The next leader must have shock absorber, because this country is sitting on a keg of gunpowder.”
