President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Nigerians to reciprocate the sacrifices of officers of the armed forces as the nation celebrates her armed forces day in honour of officers who have paid the supreme while serving the nation.
In a post on his X account, Tinubu, wrote – “Today, we honor the courage and sacrifices of our gallant Armed Forces who selflessly made the ultimate sacrifice to defend the territorial integrity of Nigeria and guarantee our peaceful coexistence. The 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day is a solemn reminder of the bravery of those who laid down their lives in service to our nation and global peace.”
“As we mark this day, I call on all Nigerians to reciprocate their sacrifices by supporting our officers, veterans, and the families of our fallen heroes. Their welfare and well-being must remain a priority for us all.”
“Our government remains steadfast in providing modern weapons and ensuring proactive operations through improved synergy among our security and intelligence communities. Together, we can build a future of peace, unity, and optimism for generations to come.”
The President encouraged Nigerians to become ambassadors of peace by eschewing violence and divisive tendencies.
