*Hails fallen heroes at remembrance day service

 Sunday Aborisade in Abuja

President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has said the current administration of President Bola Tinubu was determined to ensure that Nigeria remained an inseparable and indivisible entity.
He spoke at the Interdenominational Church Service for the 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration held yesterday at the National Christian Centre, Abuja.

Akpabio noted that the continued existence of the country hinged on its rich cultural, religious and ethnic diversity.
He called on Nigerians to embrace unity, and assured the people that the Tinubu administration was ready to redouble its efforts in securing the country.
He paid glowing tributes to members of the armed forces, who fell in the quest to make Nigeria remain one, stressing that their labour would never be in vain.
Akpabio also asked the Christendom and other stakeholders in the Nigerian project to join hands with the Tinubu government as well as the nation’s armed forces to tackle the issues that have threatened the co-existence of the country.

“The unity of Nigeria came at a great price. The sustenance and defence of this unity rests on the shoulders of the men and women of the Armed Forces.
“The true weight of loss is carried by the families and dependents of these fallen heroes. If only we could share the pain they feel, then we would truly understand the imperative of eschewing insecurity and violence in all its forms.

“The year, 2023, was an eventful one, marked by general election and a change in leadership. Our nation is still grappling with the effects of long-overdue multisectoral reforms needed to propel us forward and position Nigeria among the great nations of the world.

“I urge for support to the government of His Excellency President Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, during this crucial time as we strive to achieve the Nigeria of our dreams.”
