Kwankwaso made this declaration on Sunday at the Arise TV Presidential Townhall Series on Security and Economy, which was held in Abuja and was organised by Arise TV and the Center for Democracy and Development.
The presidential contender claimed he has put in place sufficient measures to expand the number of military officers from 250 000 to 1 million, including the army, air force, and navy.
