Defence Minister Christopher Musa Says Divine Intervention Overcame Conspiracy Against Him

Nigeria’s Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, has revealed that his rise to national leadership was guided by faith and divine intervention, despite facing conspiracies from within the forces.

Speaking at a recent worship service at Conquerors Global Assembly in Abuja, the former Chief of Defence Staff recounted how God’s hand turned a challenging period into a breakthrough in his career.

“We give God the glory for what has happened this year. Even when the enemy thought they were putting us down, they did not know God was going to lift us up. In their small minds they conspired and thought they had won. But as long as you have God as your pillar, you will win,” Musa said.

He encouraged Christians to remain steadfast in faith, highlighting that trials are necessary for growth and improvement. “If you are never challenged, you can never improve in life. As Nigerians, we know we are strong, but we are stronger together with God Almighty. Nigerians are winners. We must continue to pray for our leaders and our country,” he added.

Musa also reminded believers that God never abandons those who serve Him: “Because we serve a living God, He will never give up on us.”

His testimony comes weeks after President Bola Tinubu nominated him as Minister of Defence on December 2, forwarding his name to the Senate. Musa replaces Mohammed Badaru, who resigned from the position due to health reasons.
