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.

“Great man. I pray that Allah makes it easy for him and that he implement recommendations from the committee's visitations across the country.”
Abdumalik Dauda wrote:
“I am so happy he has been appointed into this agency. We will see real change now.”

“Another strategic position of leading the NDLEA goes to Buba Marwa. Other parts of the country are not worthy of Buhari's appointments. Sectional leader, ride on!!”
Recall that a former governor of Anambra state, Mr. Peter Obi has stated that the major challenge hindering growth and development in Nigeria is because sentiment is a major requirement to get certain positions in the country.
Obi, the vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 presidential election, lamented that those in authority are not making appointments based on competence but on emotions.
Meanwhile, President Buhari has called on Nigerians especially the elites to be fair in their criticism of his administration.
The president asked the critics to compare the situation of the country before the assumption of his government in 2015 when criticising his administration.
