As Lagos military administrator, Marwa is famed for introducing Operation Sweep, a security outfit that helped restore sanity and discipline to porous security in Nigeria’s commercial city.
Supporters of President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress have been congratulating the Adamawa-born retired military general on his appointment via Twitter.
Others have also been commenting on the appointment with reference to Marwa’s work in the past and the optimism that he will do more.
Some others stated that the appointment was borne out of nepotism, an allegation that has refused to go away concerning the Buhari administration.
