Dr. Adekunle Rufai Omo-Aje, the National Chairman of Action Alliance, AA, says the Nigerian military is one of the best trained and exposed in the African subregion.
He said Nigerian military exploits in and out of the shores of the country are amazing in terms of expertise and exploitation.
In a statement to mark the 2024 Nigerian Armed Forces Day in Kaduna on Tuesday, Omo-Aje said the armed forces’ sacrifices of the civil war of the past were too numerous, stressing that the gallant heroes paid the supreme price to keep everyone alive today as a country.
“Their feat is also visible when you talk of the Internally orchestrated intrigues of terrorism and banditry, and everyone will agree that these men and women in the military deserve our accolades.
“I want to appreciate the doggedness and spirited boldness of our gallant military men,” he said.
He prayed that their service to the nation would surely not go unappreciated and appealed to the current administration to devise means for better appreciating the services of these gallant men and women who stay awake to keep the country safe and secured.
“I am happy that the President is already doing something in line with immortalizing the fallen heroes and also reaching out to their families. Initiatives like this will inspire more resolute zeal in these men to put in more in serving the nation as expected of them,” he observed.
The AA National Chairman opined that one of the highest guided responsibilities of any government around the world is the security of lives and property of its citizens, pointing out that Nigeria is not in isolation from the rest of the world with the same focus and aspiration.
