Former Military President and elder statesman, General
Ibrahim Babangida, has called for national unity, noting
that “in our collective and individual resolves, we should
keep Nigeria’s unity, irrespective of sectional, religious and
cultural leanings”.
Speaking on the occasion of the 2017 Armed Forces
Remembrance Day Celebrations, Babangida expressed joy
that this year’s celebration is coming at a time our armed
forces are gaining more ground in the fight against
insurgency.
In a statement by his media office, IBB said, “As we
celebrate the Armed forces remembrance day, we should
take a stock of our uniqueness and sacrifices by our men
and women of the armed forces especially the fallen
heroes that paid the supreme sacrifices of maintaining
peace not only in our country but beyond the shores of
Nigeria”.
Commending the military for containing Boko Haram
terrorists, Babangida posited that recent events across
the country on general insecurity and economic sabotage
are a source of concern to every well-meaning Nigerian.
Meanwhile, Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has
expressed displeasure over the way and manner soldiers
who fought for the peace, unity and progress of the
country are neglected and pleaded for a special attention
and support for them.
He made the passionate plea during the launching of the
2017 official launch/ sale of poppy to mark the Armed
Forces Remembrance Appeal Week, held at Government
House, Minna.
Announcing a cash donation of N6million, on behalf of the
state government and a personal donation of N250, 000,
the governor directed all local government councils in the
state to support legionnaires.
