Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has hailed the new Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja, convincing that terrorism, banditry, vandalism and militancy in the country will be flushed out.

El-rufai in his post via his Twitter handle said, “My lines are open….” – Gen T Lagbaja. A new kind of Chief of Army Staff who without doubt will wipe out terrorism, banditry, vandalism and militancy in Nigeria.“I know the new COAS very well. Gen Taoreed Lagbaja was my last GOC as Governor of Kaduna State. He always led from the front anywhere he is”.

“He personally led troops to confront bandits in Kaduna State. He did the same in the North East and South East. The operatives of Boko Haram, IPOB, ESN and the bandits know well and fear him. He is the best choice as COAS.This video says it all. Thank you General Lagbaja. Keep on doing what you have always done so well and with valour. God Bless you.”
