Armed Forces Day: Nigeria is stronger together than apart – Osinbajo
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says despite differences in religion, political affiliations, ethnicity, or other diversities, generations from all walks of life, the country is stronger together than apart.
Speaking at the Interdenominational Church Service for the 2021 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration, which was held at the National Christian Centre, Abuja, Osinbajo who was represented at the church service by Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, said Nigerians “must at every opportunity insist that every great multi-ethnic and multi-religious nation has, through thick and thin, fought to realize the great dividends of diversity and pluralism.”
He reiterated the need for Nigerians to as a mark of honour for the sacrifices of the men and women of the Armed Forces show more commitment to the unity of the country and the task of building a better society.
“The struggle to ensure a perfect federation is a lifelong enterprise to which each generation must resolutely commit, it’s to the memories of these heroes and heroines that we pledge in the words of our National anthem: that ‘the labours of our heroes’ past shall never be in vain’.
“That promise that their blood, spilt on the field of battle, will not be wasted, is the burden that we, the living, bear. And it’s an onerous one indeed.”
The present leaders have now jeopardize the labours of our heroes past which is contrary to our national anthem. Something needful must be done.
You have all details from the laid down of our heroes which is bad for our nation. We can see what heroes did but you nothing to show except lying.
I don’t think there is truth in your statement? You all know that what you are saying is just to calm Nigerians down.
I really commend the effort of those gallant soldiers who lost their lives during the course of serving their country, I pray what they laboured for should not be in vain.
How strong are we, now that we are together? I think we will be better apart.
That is true but this administration has tier this country apart than all this previous administration…..
You are absolutely right, but things are not going smoothly in Nigerian now president muhammadu buhari has make everything scarter with his greenness and hard leadership.
