General Musa stressed that military takeovers contradict the fundamental principles of military professionalism and democratic governance. He called for the elimination of these threats, asserting that military forces in democratic nations must uphold constitutional values.

He expressed hope that the meeting would help prevent further instability and bolster efforts to achieve peace and sustainable development. Musa highlighted the need for collective action, intelligence sharing, and cross-border coordination to address regional security challenges. He underscored that terrorism, insurgency, organized crime, and unconstitutional government takeovers pose significant threats to national security and socio-economic progress.

In addition, Nigeria’s Defence Minister Mohammed Abubakar and Foreign Affairs Minister Yusuf Tuggar urged regional military leaders to enhance cooperation in combating terrorism and controlling the illicit flow of small arms in West Africa.

The meeting, held at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja, focused on regional security and the potential establishment of a force to address security challenges. Notably, defence chiefs from Cape Verde, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, and Togo were absent.

Last year, the defence chiefs agreed on a comprehensive strategy to address political, security, and diplomatic issues in Niger Republic. Meanwhile, military regimes in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger formed a mutual defense pact and withdrew from ECOWAS earlier this year, citing dissatisfaction with the bloc’s support for anti-jihadist efforts and allegations of manipulation by Paris.
