Some governors, on Sunday, celebrated the Nigerian military by joining in the Armed Forces Remembrance Day, commending President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to the military.
That was as Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (rtd), reaffirmed Tinubu’s commitment to prioritising the welfare, motivation, and adequate equipping of the armed forces and other security agencies to enable them carry out their constitutional duties with professionalism and efficiency.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio assured Nigerians that the National Assembly, working closely with the executive, remained committed to restoring peace and security across the country.
Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, while commending the federal government for its unwavering commitment to safeguarding life and property across the country, said it was in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Abiodun gave the commendation during a special church service to mark the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, held at Cathedral Church of St. Peter, Ake, Abeokuta.
He stated that Tinubu had taken decisive steps to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture through improved intelligence coordination, enhanced inter-agency collaboration, better welfare for troops, and the provision of modern equipment for the armed forces.
Represented by his deputy, Mrs. Noimot Salako-Oyedele, the governor said the federal government’s interventions were already yielding positive results, helping to restore public confidence in the country’s security system.
He urged Nigerians to support government efforts by promoting peace, unity, and patriotism, stressing that collective responsibility is essential to building a strong, united, and indivisible nation.
