The day your friend started this rumour on Twitter was the same day that Akpabio attended the interdenominational church service for the Armed Forces Remembrance Week. Since then, Akpabio has been seen laying a wreath on Remembrance Day.

Blood Of Fallen Heroes Symbol Of Unity, Progress – Senate President

By Martha Obi, Abuja
On Jan 14, 2024


The blood of the martyrs, Fallen Heroes is the seed sowed for the unity and progress of the country.

The Senate President, Godwin Akpabio made this known during the Interdenominational Church Service for 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration held at the National Christian Centre in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

The Senate President said that the blood of these courageous countrymen and women is and continues to be the seed of our unity and progress as a nation.

According to him, we remember these heroes and heroines, holding firmly to the promise of our National Anthem that their labours shall not be in vain. Just as it is our solemn duty to ensure that they did not die in vain by promoting the peace and unity of Nigeria.

The Senate President noted that now is the time for all stakeholders to set aside our differences, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or political affiliations, and come together to strategize on the way forward for this great nation that our gallant men and women of the Armed Forces paid and continue to pay, the ultimate price to preserve.

It is also a time for sober reflection, to take stock of past events such as the civil war, and to reflect on current challenges like the war on insurgency, incessant attacks on innocent Nigerians, and the spate of kidnappings across the country. We must reflect on their causes and work together to prevent future occurrences.

He called upon the church to partner with the government in a much-needed rebranding of Nigeria.

“The church is urged to continue spreading the gospel of love for oneself, others, and our country. We must blur the lines that divide us across ethnic and religious boundaries through messages of tolerance, peace, unity, and progress. This administration is more determined than ever to strengthen and promote the oneness and indivisibility of Nigeria because the strength of our great nation lies in our diversity”, he said.

He salutes the courage and appreciates the sacrifices of our men and women of the Armed Forces. Let us stand in solidarity with the families of our fallen heroes and heroines.

“I assure you that the government will continue to evolve policies to address the challenges you face as a result of your loss. The inclusion of veterans, their dependents, and caregivers into the Social Welfare Register through the Ministry of Defense is a commendable initiative of the current administration. The President, Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces is committed to implementing welfare programs within the services for the families of deceased personnel while making continuous efforts to address any remaining gaps”, he assured.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, today we pray, just as our National Anthem implores us, “in love and honesty to grow,” and that “the labor of our heroes past shall never be in vain.” Nigeria will remain one united, strong, and indivisible nation that all citizens and the world at large can be proud of. I call upon my compatriots to rise, for a new era of Nigerian glory is upon us.

Earlier, the Archbishop of Abuja Africa Metropolitan Church, Arch Bishop Peter Ogumiyiwa said insecurity persists in Nigeria because past Service Chiefs live in affluence, while complaint of lack of funds.

He said salaries and emoluments of military personnel should be paid as at when due if Nigeria is to be well secured.

Ogumiyiwa in his message titled “Hope of a New Dawn”, at the Special Inter-denominational Church service at the National Christian Center, Abuja, said while checkpoints have become obsolete means of containing criminalities, the military and other security personnel have turned them into tollgates.

The clergy noted that the level of insecurity in the country is worrisome, adding that the North Central has become a hotbed of insecurity in the country.

He said that “corruption in the country is endemic and become a norm, adding that for corruption to be curtailed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) must beam its searchlight on every citizen, devoid of ethnic and religious coloration”.

Ogumiyiwa commended the troops of the Nigerian military for their sacrifices and for putting themselves in arms way for the peace of the country.

The Nigerian Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa took the first reading while the Senate President took the second reading.


Many dignitaries were in attendance

Mumu post, you heard something but you don't want to say something, then what's the essence of your post here? Do you expect someone who didn't hear anything to say something?

He was with Tinubu and Buhari at Adesina's book launching and I think he was also with him in Imo state during the swearing in ceremony of Uzodinma
