AMBASSADOR (LT. GENERAL RTD) TUKUR BURATAI, WOULD BE AN INVALUABLE ASSET TO THE GOVERNMENT OF PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU.

By Comrade Oladimeji Odeyemi.

For the sake of records, I'm not the spokesperson of Amb Tukur Buratai. I was neither commissioned to state the obvious fact contained herein in this intervention. This intervention is borne out of my selflessness and patriotism to the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

As a stakeholder in the Nigerian Project, and a strong and committed member of my great party, the All Progressive Congress (APC), from Oluyole Federal Constituency of Ibadan, Oyo state. I'm equally a youth and gender activist, and front line commentator on politics, political events and a security analyst, who with other patriots have been involved in supporting our security agencies, especially the Nigerian Army, in it's civil/military relationship and the robust non kinetic warfare strategy to eradicate all forms of violent crimes in our Country.

This intervention thus is a call to service, devoid of self serving politics or premordial sentiment. I believe the President needs capable hands to fully bring the dividend of democracy to the doorstep of the ordinary Nigerian.

I want to appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) to ignore the rantings and vituperations of some disgruntled individuals who are grumbling and murmuring over the rumoured and yet to be announced role of Ambassador (Lt General rtd) Tukur Buratai (CFR) in this administration.

I am strongly appealing to the President to ignore those political jobbers and apostles of campaigns of calumny who lack both political and electoral values as shown during the last general election in the Country.

Amb Tukur Buratai is neither a traditional politician nor a political jobber but a Soldier's Soldier and a quintessential gentleman, who rose to the pinnacle of his career as a Lieutenant General, and Nigeria's Chief Of Army Staff, (COAS) and was subsequently appointed after retirement from the Army as Ambassador to the Republic of Benin, where he also served meritoriously, he's also a philanthropist of note, through the Tukur Buratai Foundation who does not need political patronage and or contract to make a living, but whom God has used and still being used to make meaningful contributions and developments to Borno State , its people ( indigenous and residents), the Nigerian Army, and our great country, Nigeria as a whole.

For, the sake of records, one could recall that before the immediate past administration came into the office, the previous administration then, for the most part of its six years of existence had battled, albeit unsuccessfully the Boko Haram terror group, adjudged as at that time, one of the deadliest, if not the deadliest in the world.

With the victory of former President Buhari in the year 2015 elections. Although the reins of governance at that time fell into the hands of the Former President, but the task of fighting terror was given to a certain General Tukur Yusufu Buratai by his appointment as the Chief of Army Staff and by extension the man upon whom the biggest responsibility yet, in recent times fell upon not only to win a most unconventional warfare against terror, but to organize a largely disillusioned, ill-equipped, low in morale army, that had so suffered on many fronts, in organization, motivation and infrastructure, more than in the fronts fighting terror.
Therefore the tasks were legion.

General Buratai approach was quite strategic, he changed the Nigerian Army with his Servant Leadership style, upon his retirement from the Army, Amb Buratai can be said to have equally achieved in legionary and legendary proportions for bringing his uniqueness into changing the Nigerian Army with his purposeful servant-leader military style of leadership in which the high morale of the soldiers was brought back and trust restored between the rank and file and the commanding officers.

Thankfully today, with the subsequent and incumbent leadership of the Nigerian Army, consolidating on the previous accomplishment and success of General Buratai, there is no organized terror attacks of the kind we used to see, only isolated soft-target attacks. Boko Haram / ISWAP terror has practically been decimated and reduced to nothingness.

How Was General Buratai Able To Do This?

There are a number of significant difficulties for today’s military – the global war on terrorism or what was previously termed the “Long War on Boko Haram;” weapon system acquisitions and personnel drawdowns was a hindrance, with denied access to sophisticated weapons and some previous administration mismanaging and embezzling of funds meant for weapons procurement.

But, General Buratai, as the then Chief of Army Staff, who in spite of many odds, and in the face of little international support, meagre equipment and falling morale, was still able to shape the Nigerian Army significantly as to make it functional, professional and a worthy army, a pride to the noble profession of the military, recognized all over the world for bringing terror to its knees. And in just such a short time to.

As earlier stated, Buratai’s servant leadership style was the major turning point in making the huge difference, from the period of his appointment to his retirement.

The Army’s definition of leadership is the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization.

Therefore an army leader is required to inspire and influence people to accomplish their goals.

From a culture of stealing army funds, stealing funds meant for procurement of arms, from a rag tag army with no logistics back-up, General Buratai as COAS during his stewardship simply put himself in the place of his soldiers, feeling their pain as his pain, knowing their needs as his needs — He wasn’t the boss who stayed to far from his troops, he lived among them.

Buratai is a leader who motivates people both inside and outside the army to help them pursue their goals, focus on their thinking, and shape decisions for the better of the Country.

Such is the kind of servant leader that Buratai is, his loyalty to Nigeria and now to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is never in doubt. He’s a soldier’s soldier, a diplomat and a consummate patriot.

Loyalty is Amb Buratai's watchword. In leadership, loyalty although a vital ingredient, can only be acquired by those who are innately and inherently loyal. In the army, loyalty is perhaps more than just a need, it is a pillar upon which the military structure rest.

But Ambassador Buratai, to date, has left no one in doubt where his loyalty lies, to the country, and to the President. This was evidenced during the last Presidential elections where he played, though as usual silently, a significant role in deploying his abundant manpower resources and contacts across the Country to galvanize support for President Bola Tinubu across political, ethnic and religious divide.

Buratai’s philosophy seems to echo the very words of the great military strategist, Napoleon Bonaparte, “as long as there is the self-determination to do what is best for the nation, every other consideration is secondary”.

In one of his many interviews when he was in active service, General Buratai maintained that, “The main principles of leadership in the army are down to the acronym LDRSHIP —Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selflessness, Honour, Integrity, Personal-courage.

These are the type of characteristics the army under his command instilled in each solider, and to all intents and purposes, General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, succeeded in
making the Nigerian Army regain it's pride in the committee of Nations as the pride of the blackrace.

Being an exemplary leader, especially in the Military requires having mental strength. There is a common misconception that people who are loudly and who always display being physically strong are the ones who make great leaders. But again, we have seen in the ever smiling gentle General that his greatest strength lies in his mental faculty and capabilities.

We have also seen in the example of Buratai, a good leader needs to be mentally strong and able to make firm and sound minded decisions.

Fighting terrorism is more of intelligence gathering and counter-espionage, more of a game of wits than bare braggadio, when the enemy you are fighting is not the conventional Army and may even be lurking in the market place, mosques, churches, where civilians reside. Perhaps, this is where Buratai when he was in command of the Nigerian Army have won, where some others have failed.

Mahatma Gandhi was an exceptional leader in that he was able to satisfy the basic psychological needs of his followers. Ghandi, though soft spoken but practiced resolute leadership style, is a prime example of being a servant leader. He was able to move thousands of people to action in India and at the same time inspired the entire globe with his non-violent methods.

Buratai, with his soft spoken, almost shy nature, has continue to gain the confidence of Nigerians, both in and out of the Army
that today, the Army he left for his successors leaders is the pride of our dear Nation.

As a patriot, I'll continue to salute this diplomat, exemplary leader, consummate soldier and meritorious Chief of Army Staff who came when his country needed him most and upon retirement has continued to serve humanity and has impacted positively on this generation. His name in the annals of history, I am very sure of worthy, most irreproachable place in which he will be remembered for his selfless services rendered to motherland, saving Nigeria from being consumed by terror.

Our President, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is a man of vision and mission, he has brought dynamism into governance, his clarity of thought, sense of purpose and action since his inauguration. He has demonstrated a high level of preparation, he has hit the ground running, what the President needs are able patriots with capacities and capabilities who will work with him loyally to bring the renewed hope to the door step of the common man in Nigeria. Hence Ambassador Tukur Buratai with his purposeful servant leadership style will definitely be an invaluable asset to the government of President Bola Tinubu.

Effective Public Service Is Essential For peace and Security Says Buratai



Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Tukur Yusufu Buratai has reiterated that public service is a crucial aspect of national security.

Buratai in his paper presented at the 2nd stanza 2023 public lecture organized by the Alumni Association of the University of Ibadan on Friday, November 3rd, 2023 titled Public service and the imperative for National Security in Nigeria, maintained that it is imperative that government invest in, and maintains a competent Public Service to ensure the safety and security of its citizens.





According to him, public servants are responsible for implementing policies and programs that promote peace and stability as well as for delivering essential services such as healthcare, education and infrastructure, and maintaining law and order which are vital to the well-being of the population.



Buratai also opined that the insecurity being faced in the country since 2009 was the creation of the Political class.



He maintained that political interference in military affairs can arise when politicians attempt to influence or control military decisions for their own political gains. This is capable of compromising service personnel, who are also public servants, thereby eroding public service.

“My colleagues and I faced the most political interference during our time. This interference often stems from a lack of understanding of the complexities of military operations, strategy, and the unique challenges faced by military leaders. When politicians impose their own or attemp to micromanage military affairs, it can undermine the effectiveness and autonomy of military leaders.”







Furthermore, political interference can erode the morale and trust within military ranks. When military leaders are constantly subjected to political pressures and demands that do not align with military expertise, it can create a sense of disillusionment among the troops. This can negatively impact their motivation, discipline, and overall effectiveness in carrying out their duties ”





During my tenure, I encountered a significant amount of interference from politicians and armchair critics who seemed to believe that the Commander- in-Chief lacked the necessary expertise to fulfill his duties. This unnecessary often hindered the smooth operation of military affairs and impeded the effective execution of plans”

Despite my extensive experience and dedication to my duties, the constant skepticism and second guessing by those outside the military sphere added an unwarranted layer of complexity to the decision making process This interference while well-intentioned in some cases, ultimately created a challenging environment for me.

Speaking on the calls for the sack of the then Service Chiefs, by the Ninth National Assembly, Buratai said their call was a call to derail the democracy by the military.

‘It is essential for civil authorities to have oversight and democratic control over the military in a democracy, however, those in civil governance should respect the expertise and professionalism of military leaders. There is the need to strike a healthy balance. A healthy civil-military relationship requires mutual trust, respect, and open communication. Politicians should rely on the advice and expertise of military leaders in matters of defense and security rather than playing to the gallery or politicizing national security. He concluded

*Ogun State earmarked Roads in Sagamu and other roads for Reconstruction*

Succor appears to have come to the people of Apele in Sagamu Local government as the Ogun State government has approved the road off High court road spreading to the international market in Apele Area among other road for rehabilitation and reconstruction.
This decision was taken at the state executive council last week after the presentation by the commissioner for works, Engr. Ade akinsanya. The road which stretches to Ijebu Ode-Sagamu express way is a major way that interlink various interchanging roads of the town. The road which was marked last week, also include a stretch of about 2km leading to the Ebiede Football Academy.
When completed, the road will allow farmers and other people to be able to move their product to Sagamu and its environment. In essence the road will not only enhance rural development but sport development in line with the vision of His Excellency, Governor Dapo Abiodun in taking the state to greater heights. Contactors are expected to be named soon and will hit the site any moment from now.
It is clear that Ogun State government seems to have replicated the practice in Lagos State where roads construction are spread across all the local governments which is highly commendable.

TUKUR YUSUFU BURATAI: A SERVICE CHIEF, DIPLOMAT, KINGMAKER AND AN IMPACTFUL TEACHER. By Comrade Oladimeji Odeyemi




To say that history never forgets those who wholeheartedly serve their fatherland is never a mistake as reference will always be made to their contributions to humanity.

I have seen people who made a significant impact in changing their world, but those who give their very best are few in numbers.
Making other people’s safety a responsibility is no small job, and to talk of a whole nation, of course, it’s a Herculean task, and that is why even when he has dropped the baton in the Nigerian Army, the name Tukur Yusufu Buratai continues to ring the bell every left, right, and center.






This is more like the very first time we will be having a former Chief of Army Staff, (COAS) in Africa giving back to the society in such a great volume as General Tukur Buratai, who ever since he retired has been seeing almost everywhere teaching the public the necessities of a safer society.


When others feel they have done much enough to quit, Tukur Butatai seizes every given opportunity that life present to make himself beneficial to the people so that our peaceful coexistence as a country remains unshaken.
How else should we describe this amazing personality who from a Soldier, (Chief of Army Staff) after retirement and became a Diplomat, (Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Republic of Benin)




He has several notable awards and traditional titles also to his credit as a mark of honour and recognition of his invaluable quota to nation-building among which are: the Garkuwan Keffi, the Balogun Agba of owu kuta, the Aare Akinrogun of Ibadan land, the Jagunmolu of Saki land, the Baakore of Akure Kingdom and more recently on the 27th October 2023, he was turbanned as the Betera of Biu Emirate (one of the kingmakers) and also on the 28th October 2023, he was conferred with the Honorary Doctor of letters by the Nigerian Army University Biu.

Your Majesty, I am honoured that you trust me to speak for the two of us as this young, promising and flowering university honours us with its highest degrees. I am also glad to be sharing the same podium with our First Chancellor on the day of his formal investiture and installation. Your Majesty, May your reign be long, peaceful and prosperous. We are therefore excited to accept the award of the degrees of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa) and that of Letters (honoris causa) on the Chancellor and my humble self respectively. It is indeed a privilege to be a part of Africa’s first green university, the Nigerian Army University, Biu, particularly on the day of its inaugural convocation. I would like to thank the Pro-Chancellor and members of Council, Lt Gen TA Lagbaja NAM, the Vice Chancellor Prof Kyari Mohammed and members of Senate, and the university community for finding us worthy of these prestigious awards. We understand these degrees automatically confer on us membership of the Alumni Association and Board of Fellows, like good alumni, we promise to be good ambassadors of the university. You have given us additional opportunity to continue our association with, and contributions to this exceptional institution.

2. His Royal Majesty, Gen Felix Mujakperou Rtd CFR is a well-known personality in Nigeria. Although, while in service, I was far junior, because as at the time he retired from Service, I was a Major in rank. I had admired him from far. Fortunately, I was privileged to meet and interact closely with him at his palatial palace in Orerokpe during my visit as then Chief of Army Staff. He is an enigma to behold. A highly respected traditional ruler at home and beyond, Gen Mujakperou personifies excellence right from his time in the Nigerian Defence Academy. In March 1971 he graduated as the Best-All-Round Cadet of the Academy Course 5. A professional Infantry General who saw action in Sierra Leone where he served as the force commander under ECOMOG. I am sure President Muhammadu Buhari, himself a retired general, must have weighted all these in appointing you, out of numerous deserving traditional rulers, as our First Chancellor. We thank the former President for this wise decision.

3. To the Nigerian Army University Biu, it is gratifying to see what has been accomplished in such a short period of only five years. I am confident that those of us who participated in the establishment of the Nigerian Army University Biu, will share my delight at the institution’s outstanding performance.

4. Since the arrival of colonial masters, the people of Biu and, by extension, Borno State, have been leaders and pioneers in educational initiatives throughout the country and beyond. This is because our people recognize the transformative power of education on individuals, their families, villages, and communities. For this reason, throughout contemporary history of this land, families and communities have made significant investments in education. They view it as a means to escape poverty, acquire gainful employment, generate wealth, improve the standard of living, and empower the next generation to live a better life than they did. The insecurity that has been the bane of Nigeria since 2009 has it's roots in ignorance as a consequence of lack of education by a large section of the society. The decision of the Nigerian Army to establish this university is strategic. It is a long term strategy to to contain insecurity in the North East through education.

5. Yesterday, the Biu Emirate Council, under the skillful leadership of His Royal Highness, Dr Mustapha Umar Mustapha II, CON graciously turbaned me as the Betara of Biu. Today, this university is doing me yet another honor by conferring upon me this doctorate degree of Letters honoris causa. I am grateful to the Almighty Allah for seeing me through my 40-year military career and for blessing me with life and good health after retirement so that I can continue to contribute to the betterment of our fatherland. These two prestigious awards will motivate me to further rededicate my life to the service of humanity.

6. I can’t avoid the thorny issue of security in a forum like this because I come from a military background. Let’s not forget that maintaining security requires teamwork, therefore I’ll remind everyone to heed the maxim, “If you see something, say something.”

7. As I conclude, I urge those in charge of this institution to include in their curriculum the life skills that must be taught to our youths in order for them to become responsible members of the larger society and develop good character, as education is not only about learning but also about character development. It is essential to acquire advanced technical skills, but it is also expedient to have the training and discipline necessary to live in harmony with other members of society. I have in mind skills that foster tolerance for the differing perspectives of others, skills that promote peace, skills that instill ethical behavior in the practice of our profession, and above all, patriotism for our nation. Only by cultivating individuals with a diverse set of talents can we ensure that they will contribute to their own well-being and to that of society.

8. Lastly, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to extend my congratulations to all of the graduates for earning their degrees. Be excellent representatives of this institution wherever you find yourself. I applaud the sacrifices your parents and guardians have made to support your education. I also applaud the university administration for it's dedication and sacrifice in achieving today’s success. I must appreciate the Vice Chancellor, Prof Kyari Mohammed for his diligence, hardwork, discipline and prudence in the management of resources. I call him the rescuer of this university following a shaky start during its formative stage. I thank Prof Kyari Muhammed most sincerely.

9. As the foundation Pro-Chancellor, I owe it a duty to thank all my successors who have kept the flame of learning in this unique institution burning. I say thank you Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya Rtd CFR (Zaruman Sokoto) for continuing with this legacy of financial and infrastructural support to NAUB. You continued and upscaled from where I stopped. To Lt Gen TA Lagbaja, the Chief of Army Staff I say thank you for maintaining the legacy also. Your first word to me when I discussed the university on your assumption of office you said that ‘I will support the NAUB.' You have kept to your words. You personally approved and signed this honour bestowed on the Chancellor HRM Gen Felix A Mujakperou Rtd and myself. Thank you so much.

10. As a way of reminiscing, I must thank and appreciate members of the Nigerian Army Committee that worked hard, who travelled round the country and to similar universities abroad that eventually led to the establishment of the NAUB. I thank and commend Maj Gen Mathaias Efevbokhan Rtd the chairman of the defunct establishment Committee that was later transformed into the NAUB Transition Committee. Maj Gen Mathaias Efevbokhan Rtd is one gentlemen senior officer who showed commitment, dedication, selflessness, strong will and progressive leadership. I must also appreciate the National Universities Commission, especially its former Executive Secretary NUC, Professor Abubakar Adamu Rasheed, who along with then Honourable Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, took personal interest in the establishment of this university. The Nigerian Army University owe these two gentlemen and elder statesmen gratitude. Thank you Mallam Adamu Adamu and Professor Rasheed. I must also thank the former ministers of Defence Brig Gen MM Dan-Ali Rtd and Maj Gen BS Magashi Rtd CFR for their leadership of the ministry and the Armed Forces during their tenures as ministers of Defence. Your support to the NAUB is highly appreciated. I welcome the new Ministers of Defence H.E. Muhammad Abubakar Badaru CON and H.E. Mohammed Bello Matawalle CON for their support to NAUB. Let me also on behalf of us the honorees, thank members of the National Assembly for their role in the speedy passage of the bill establishing NAUB and its eventual assent by the President. This is highly appreciated. I must thank Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume and Honourable Mukhtar Aliyu Betara for their continued support to the university especially in the areas of infrastructures. We also appreciate the good people of Biu who have been accommodative to the students and staff of the University who come from all walks of life and different parts of the country. I pay tribute to HRH the late Alhaji Umar Mustahpha Aliyu, during whose eventful reign this university was established. May Allah grant him paradise, Amin. HRH Alh Dr Mustapha Umar Mustapha II CON who assumed the mantle of leadership of the Biu Emirate has continued to support the university. We appreciate you, Your Royal Highness.

11. I will not fail to mention His Excellency Kashim Settima, the current Vice President, who then as the Governor of Borno State, did everything possible to see to the establishment of this university. The 5000-hectare land upon which this university stands was approved and donated to the Nigerian Army University by him. He was personally here to witness the ground-breaking ceremony. We are grateful to his Excellency Senator Kashim Shattima, GCON, the Vice President Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am even happier that his successor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum has shown more than passing interest in the affairs of the University. Your Excellency we appreciate your passion for development, education and indeed personal interest in the Nigerian Army University Biu. Your Excellency, your love for the Biu people and the NAUB is highly appreciated.

12. I must also thank former President, His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari GCFR, in whose time NAUB was established. Let me also appreciate our current President, HE, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for his love for education and his support to our teeming youthful population who form the bulk of tertiary institutions students in our country. The students' loan scheme introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will transform the educational system in the country. I most sincerely thank you for the support to the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Army University Biu. The ultimate gratitude and praise goes to Almighty Allah the most beneficent the most merciful. I thank Almighty Allah for the gift of life to each and everyone of us and for sustaining us to see this day, Amin.

13. I thank you all for your attention. May God bless our country Nigeria, and continue to grant us peace in Borno State.

Long live Nigerian Army University.

Long live Borno State.

Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Provision of infrastructure in rural areas a tool to fight terrorism, says Buratai






Former Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) and Nigerian Ambassador to Benin Republic, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (rtd), has affirmed that infrastructural development in rural areas would aid the fight against terrorism in the North East region.










According to him, the provision and sustenance of rural infrastructural facilities are means of protecting lives and property in the country.
Buratai spoke on Saturday, October 28th, 2023 while presenting the first convocation lecture at the Nigerian Army University, Biu (NAUB), Borno State.





He called on stakeholders and authorities at the federal and state levels to commence the construction and rehabilitation of roads for accessibility to rural and ungoverned spaces.




Besides accessibility to rural areas, he added that the development of rural infrastructural projects would attract socio-economic development to stem the tide of insecurity in the country.




The former CoAS noted that most of the infrastructural development projects are located in the state capitals, tasking the six state governors in the North East region to look inward and see what they could do to open up their local councils with various facilities.
He noted that infrastructural developments in rural areas could also attract investors to harness the vast agricultural, livestock, and mineral resources in the states and help to curb poverty and unemployment.

Accolades As Nigerian Army University confers Doctorate Degree on Gen. Buratai





It was another celebration galore for Lt Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai, former Nigeria's Ambassador to the Republic of Benin and former Chief of Army Staff as he was conferred the degree of Doctor of Letters (D. Litts) Honoria Causa at the Nigerian Army University, Biu, Borno State.





The Nigerian Army University, Biyu (NAUB) held its first convocation for 417 graduates of the institution on Saturday, October 28th, 2023. The ceremony was held at the University's Main Campus in the Biu Local Government Area of Borno State.



According to the Vice Chancellor of the higher institution, Professor Kyari Mohammed, Buratai who was the first pro-chancellor of NAUB, deserved the conferment of Honoris Causa in recognition of his distinguished, meritorious, and dedicated service to the country and humanity.





Also, the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, who is equally the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman Governing Council of the University felicitated with the newly turbanned Betara of Biu, Lt. Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai for his outstanding leadership qualities. It would be recalled that the idea for the establishment of the institution was conceived by the then Chief Of Army Staff (COAS) Lt. General Buratai due to the growing need for manpower development and specialized training to cater to the technological needs of the Army in particular, the military ad the nation in general.









In his acceptance speech, Buratai lauded the institution as an epitome of academic excellence and commended its high standards of discipline.





He also urged the graduating students to invest their time and energy in making the right decisions.
He revealed that the story and history of this great institution are one of the right decisions that should be well studied by those involved in tertiary education globally.









Some of the notable dignitaries who attested to the worthiness of Buratai as deserving of the Honoris Causa were the deputy governor of Borno State, Umar Usman Kadafur, Governors of Naasarawa and Enugu who were well represented,









The Nigerian Army University, Biu, Borno State matriculated its first set of students on February 18, 2019, into five faculties Arts, Management and Social Sciences, Computing, Environmental Sciences, Engineering and Technology, as well as Natural and Applied Sciences.







The University's Chancellor, His Royal Majesty, Major General Felix Mujakperuo (rtd), the Orodje of Okpe Kingdom, Delta State noted that citing the University in Biu has brought and will continue to bring development to the community.





"Rendering the summary of Honorary Awardees and graduating students by class of degree, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Kyari Mohammed affirmed the award of Doctor of Laws Honoris Causa to HRM Maj Gen Felix Mujakperuo (rtd) and Doctor of Letters to Lt Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai former Nigeria's Ambassador to the Republic of Benin and former Chief of Army Staff.

The Legend Of Buratai And Betara Of Biu



Renowned psychologist, Philip Zambardo says, “…to be a hero means you step across the line and are willing to make a sacrifice, so heroes always are making a sacrifice. Heroes always take a risk. Heroes are always deviant. Heroes are always doing something that most people don’t and will want to change. This means heroes are people who came, saw, and conquered. Yes, we have many heroes; but ironically, not every hero is a legend.







However, Lieutenant General TY Buratai is a combination of both and much more. Through courage, selfless sacrifice, and exemplary leadership, he commanded the Nigerian Army that saved us from the brutal strangulation of insurgents and criminal gangs in Nigeria.





Therefore, Lieutenant General Buratai has amazingly surpassed the mark of a mere hero and has launched himself into the nobility of remarkable legends. A famous American athlete, Max Holloway says, “Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.” This is a perfect description of the persona of Lieutenant General Buratai

Whatever respite and exculpation Nigeria savours today from Boko Haram terrorism streams from the relentless sacrifices of Lieutenant General Buratai and Nigerian Army troops’ years of sleeplessness and battles in the trenches. Several testimonies from several generals within the ranks and files of the armed forces are testimony to this.











Lt Gen. Buratai depicts the image of an uncommon soldier; rugged and combative on the battlefields and a torn in the flesh of insurgents, insurrectionists, and other enemies of Nigeria. He is a soldier tough at the battlefront, but meek, kind, and humble at home. His humility and compassion always leave whoever encounters him in awe. He is the face of a perfect humanity, who shares the pains and agonies of suffering people and steps out to assist traumatized and helpless people. He counts his joy and happiness in the number of people he has freed from torments and the hangman’s noose and the lives he positively impacted. Because of his immense love for humanity, Lt Gen. Buratai goes out of his way to assist individuals and communities. The prosperity and development he brought to many communities across Nigeria are uncountable. His numerous philanthropic and humanitarian gestures touched many hearts.









Thus, the turbaning of Buratai as Betara of Biu today by the Emir of Biu, His Royal Majesty, Dr Umar Mustapha II, is a well-deserved honour on the worthy son of the soil. The Emir explained that the selection of Buratai was in recognition of his exceptional contribution not only to the Biu Emirate but to the country as a whole.





The Borno Deputy Governor, Dr Usman Kadafur, commended the Emir for finding him worthy of the title and for his commitment towards the peace and unity of Nigeria.

Interestingly, the historic event, which took place at the emir’s palace, was graced by dignitaries and politicians, serving and retired military officers, top government functionaries, traditional rulers, and members of the academia, among others.

Some of the dignitaries included the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen Taoreed Lagbaja; former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Farouk Yahaya; Lt. Gen. Lamidi Adeosun, and former APC National Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Adamu and the Olowu of Kuta Kingdom, HRH (Dr.) Hammed Adekunle Makama Oyelude (Tegbosun III),

Pro Kingsley Issues Prophetic Warning To Bishop Oyedepo's Son, Reveals Why




Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, one of the sons of Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church, aka Winners Chapel, has resigned.




Isaac, who was recently appointed as the Global Youth Pastor of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, resigned to start up his own ministry.

He said, “My God-given mandate is to reclaim a generation and to ensure that this generation sees the fire of God-revival in our generation.”



Meanwhile, popular prophet whose prophetic mantle is unquestionable going by the accuracy of his prophetic warnings has urged Pastor Isaac Oyedepo to wait on the Lord more and not take a decision in a rush. This according to him is not unconnected to a revelation he saw and documented in September 2022.




This message is a warning message to Pastor Isaac Oyedepo .

On September 4, 2022 I saw myself inside winners chapel auditorium but it was like the highest floor to come down to the stairs that lead to the floor I saw Bishop Oyedepo and the wife asking me where is pastor Isaac Oyedepo ?


That he said he was coming down the stairs and we rushed everywhere around the church we didn’t see him . This message was September 2022 . Please because when I saw the messaged online of him resigning. My conscience won’t let me rest . I will advice you go and confirm very well from God.

What I saw was Bishop Oyedepo saying he said he was coming down the stairs but he didn’t get down and they didn’t see him again.

By grace Jesus Christ said that ministry will be handed to 2 sons but he didn’t permit me to say their names . But he said 2 sons .

We are not looking for any cheap popularity. What he tells me I will say it . If you listen it will show and if you don’t listen with time it will show .

How Supreme Court verdict Validates Prophet Kingsley Prophecies About Tinubu, 2023 Elections






The Supreme Court, on Thursday, October 26th, 2023 affirmed President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the valid winner of the presidential election that held in the country on February 25.





Interestingly, today's verdict has proven that One of the seasoned prophets in Celestial Churches, Oladapo Kingsley Aitafo of Oneness In Christ is indeed an authentic mouthpiece from God. And it’s not unconnected to the precise confirmation of his consistent prophecy concerning the emergence of Ashiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu as the president elect in the 2023 presidential election.




When alot of fathers of faith were against the candidacy of Tinubu he Insisted that what God told him is different from theirs. Hia prophecy started In May 5th,2021when he predicted that Ahmed Tinubu will win the APC presidential primaries but a yoruba man from Ogun State will betray him. However, he will receive help from the Northern allies.






“And for a presidential candidate, Asiwaju Tinubu, he should be very strong, Karma will fight his health seriously, but there is a staff of authority upon his forehead, I don’t know the man of God that he has helped that put that seal upon him but he will be highly betrayed by his fellows and allies, the Northern part of Nigeria will back him and stand by him, and a Yoruba man from Ogun State will seriously stand against him, but because of that seal of authority on his forehead, he will prevail, but pls note that he is going to have serious health challenges. He should continue to pray for forgiveness and ask God to let him see that throne so that it won’t end up the M.K.O Abiola’s way.”





Furthermore, during his annual prophecy for the year, he reiterated the reasons why Tinubu will win the elections amidst the obstacles.


*Peter Obi is a good candidate, and a choice of a lot of people, Atiku has a lot of strategies, but Tinubu has been prayed for by a father of faith who is either a Muslim or a Christian by so doing none of the other two aspirants can conquer him(he has a divine spiritual backup)






And as predicted, Tinubu won the election mysteriously beating his two closest rivals by a wide margin.


Furthermore, when some people predicted that Tinubu will not witnessed the inauguration, Prophet Kingsley said they are jokers as God maintains his stance that Tinubu will be installed and it came to pass. When the opposition parties started the lawsuit, he enjoined them not to water their money as they will lose roundly at the court and strangely, it is so.

Well spoken general Buratai. I wish Nigerians know your worth. A prophet has no honour in his own land. Let's join hands to build Nigeria

Supreme Court Verdict On Tinubu Vindicates Pro Iginla



...How He Got It Right On 2023 Presidential Election










How do you know a true man of God or a prophet to the nation? It’s when his message against all odds comes to fulfillment! Interestingly, Prophet Joshua Iginla has been vindicated at last as the Supreme Court on Thursday, October 26th, 2023 affirmed President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the valid winner of the presidential election that held in the country on February 25.





The clergy with the prophetic mantle and Abuja-based General Overseer of Royal Champions Assembly, Prophet Joshua Iginla in 2021 said the 2023 election will be a year of mystery and that only God can stop Tinubu’s presidential ambition.

Also in 2022 and 2023 he revealed that there will be a win and gain here and a loss there and that concerning the presidential election, he sees the most criticized and hated candidate emerging winner under the permissive will of God.

Interestingly, even when most major religious leaders were prophesying something else, he stuck to his revelation that Tinubu is the major factor in the equation of things in the 2023 election.

It would be recalled that the clergyman during his prophetic release for 2022 said God told him Tinubu would be a great factor in the forthcoming 2023 election.








“God said something to me that is very deep. The man called Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a factor in the equation and you can not remove him and you cannot push him aside. You cannot drive him backward or push him aside, except God pull him out of the equation. You cannot remove him by human means. If you push him aside, you will know that a factor has been removed from the equation, the only thing that can move him is God. Only God stops him. I’m not speaking in favor of anybody but I’m saying what I’ve seen and will leave the rest for God,” Prophet Iginla said.






And of a truth, the road to Victory for Tinubu in the just concluded 2023 election was tarred with twists and turns. It was a journey filled with betrayals from loyalists. At a point, his Victory looks like a mirage but the clergy’s message keeps resounding clearly that Tinubu is the major factor in the equation.


Recall, Nigeria’s main opposition parties had called for the country’s presidential election to be scrapped, alleging that the process had been manipulated.

The opposition parties led by PDP hinged their action on what they described as connivance between the APC and the INEC to rig the presidential election. The protesting parties had demanded that the electoral umpire uploaded the polling units results into the INEC Results Viewing Portal (IReV) to authenticate the presented results.

Without doubt, the verdict of the supreme Court today over Tinubu’s emergence as the democratically elected President of Nigeria from May 29, 2023, has further re-enacted Prophet Iginla as a man of God horned with divine and indisputable prophetic gift.

IT IS TIME TO RALLY BEHIND PRESIDENT TINUBU TO ACTUALIZE THE RENEWED HOPE AGENDA SAYS BURATAI


https://saharaweeklyng.com/it-is-time-to-rally-behind-president-tinubu-to-actualize-the-renewed-hope-agenda-says-buratai/





Former Chief Of Army Staff, His Excellency, Lt. General (rtd) TY Buratai, CFR has urged Nigerians to rally behind President Tinubu to actualize the renewed hope agenda.



Buratai made the call after the Supreme Court, on Thursday, October 26th, 2023 affirmed President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the valid winner of the presidential election that held in the country on February 25.




In a statement released today, Buratai said the Supreme Court verdict is a clear indication that the court found merit in the arguments presented by the APC and President Tinubu. The decision holds significant implications for the political landscape, potentially shaping future policies and governance under President Tinubu's leadership.



He, therefore, urged Nigerians, particularly politicians, to graciously accept the judgment of the Supreme Court and extend their support to President Tinubu.









"In a significant development, the Supreme Court has rendered its verdict in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, thereby dismissing the claims put forth by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party. This ruling is a clear indication that the court found merit in the arguments presented by the APC and President Tinubu. The decision holds significant implications for the political landscape, potentially shaping future policies and governance under President Tinubu's leadership.

I am urging all Nigerians, particularly politicians, to graciously accept the judgment of the Supreme Court and extend their support to President Tinubu. It is crucial for the stability and progress of the nation that we unite behind our elected leader. By setting aside personal and political differences, we can collectively work towards the betterment of our country. President Tinubu's success in leading Nigeria will largely depend on the cooperation and collaboration of all individuals, regardless of their affiliations. Only through unity and a shared vision can we address the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Together, let us strive for a prosperous and harmonious Nigeria under President Tinubu's leadership.

President Tinubu has been handed a crucial opportunity to steer Nigeria towards a promising future. It is imperative that he remains resolute and unwavering in his commitment to implementing his renewed hope agenda. This I believe the President will do. The path ahead may be challenging, but it is vital that President Tinubu remains focused and concentrates his efforts on bringing about positive change in Nigeria. By prioritizing key issues such as economic development, social welfare, and good governance, President Tinubu has the potential to make a lasting impact on the lives of Nigerians. With determination and careful planning, he can contribute to the progress and prosperity of the nation. It is my hope that President Tinubu seizes this opportunity with dedication and perseverance, always keeping the best interests of the Nigerian people at heart.

Longlive the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Prophet Iginla Releases Prophetic Warning to World Leaders, Akpabio, Airlines In New Videos








Prophet Joshua Iginla has rolled out fresh prophetic warnings against plane crashes, Senate president Godswil Akpabio, and the danger of global war arising from the Israel and Hamas battle.


The clergy in a video posted on his social media revealed that God showed him a potential danger in the aviation industry as a commercial airline will experience a fatal crash unless God intervenes.




According to him, he saw confusion in the air before the passengers' plane crashed. He said it was a sensitive scenario as it involved an important personality.




Watch video:

Also, in another video, he urged the Senate president, Godswil Akpabio to be prayerful and cautious as he sees so many tigers attacking him. In the prophetic word given by Iginla, he warned that the battle before him is not the battle of strength but wisdom. He said he should pray for grace to finish his tenure as Senate president.







https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw3Fp2jELSo?si=15Lxmk-O5W2BPjQR




Finally, Prophet Joshua Iginla, the leader and founder of Champions Royal Assembly, warned President Bola Tinubu and other world leaders to ensure that the ongoing war between Israel and Gaza did not split over to World War III.


In a video posted on the church's YouTube page, the cleric said he saw "a big battle coming. It is like a pandemic, not of sickness but of guns, an exchange of superpowers".










Prophet Iginla said he had the visions on three different occasions, adding that countries like China, Israel, America, and the Middle East would massage each others' egos, and the world would be at a standstill when the war broke out, and countries beneath them would suffer.


He said:


"I am not seeing two elephants fight; I am seeing elephants exchanging strength. I am afraid of the signs I am seeing coming. This is not sickness. It is an exchange of weapons. I see provocation and counter-reactions."
Iginla added that the Israeli army's ongoing bombardment in Gaza was beyond Israel and urged the body of Christ to pray so that the world would not be at a standstill.


He then called on world leaders, especially their advisers, to watch their tongues, adding that provocation and escalation of the war would not be good for humanity and the world.


What you should know about the Israel-Gaza war in Palestine
The crisis between Palestine and Israel escalated when the Hamas group attacked the Jewish country on Saturday, October 7, and about 1,400 were reportedly killed while over 4,000 were said to have been injured.


Since the development, there has been a series of bombardments from the side of Israeli authorities, mostly through the night, with over 4,200 people killed, and 70% of the casualties are women and children.


Aljazeera also reported that more than 13,000 people have been injured, and the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said on Saturday, October 21, that the complete siege on Gaza would not stop until Israeli hostages are free.


The United States and Israel were conspicuously absent as the Egypt peace summit held in Cairo over the weekend.

Leading investment platform, Afriq Arbitrage System, (AAS) has bounced back stronger and better. This is not unconnected to the fact that the CEO of AAS, Jesame Micheal has proven that he is a barrier breaker and line crosser with the launch of a global coin for investors.




The beauty of the global coin known as the AAS token is its universal usage. With the launch of global coin, partners or investors can trade, invest, buy, and sell products. The launch of this AAS merchandise marketplace enables users to buy and sell products using AAS tokens. The aim is that investors can now use it to make payments and transactions using AAS tokens. AAS coin can be used in purchasing iPhones, ipad and laptop in AAS App Store, Air ticket, Transport ,AAS codding/programming school ,AAS tracking system ,AAS Estate.



Here are 11 reasons To AAS To Enjoy The Global Coin By An Investor



HI FELLOW INVESTORS, I LOOKED THROUGH THE TOKENOMICS OF THE AAS TOKEN FROM THE White Paper, AND WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME KEY POINTS:

1. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TOKENS WILL BE 10,000,000,000 (10BIL). THE IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT WILL BE "PRINTED"/"MINTED" SO TO SAY.

2. OF THE 10 BILLION TOKENS, ONLY 5 BILLION OR 50% WILL BE IN SUPPLY.

3. OF THE 50% IN SUPPLY, ONLY 25% (2.5 BILLION) WILL BE PART OF THE INITIAL SUPPLY. THE 2.5 BILLION TOKENS COULD BE ALL PART OF THE PRESALE OR COULD BE ONLY A PORTION OF THE PRESALE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL BE INFORMED ON WHEN THE CEO UPDATES US.

4. THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THE 25% (2.5BIL TOKENS) MAKING UP THE 50% (5 BILLION) TOTAL SUPPLY WILL BE SPLIT UP INTO TWO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES:

A. 12.5% FOR LIQUIDITY PROVISION: 1,250,000,000. THIS IS VERY CRUCIAL TO THE SUCCESS AND TRADABILITY OF THE TOKEN ACROSS SEVERAL EXCHANGES. LIQUIDITY ALLOWS FOR PURCHASE FULFILLMENT AND ENCOURAGES MORE EXCHANGES TO LIST THE AAS TOKEN AS THEY KNOW THEY CAN FULFILL MARKET PURCHASES, STRESS FREE.

B. 12.5% FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT & SPECIAL PROJECTS: 1,250,000,000.
THIS COULD BE UTILISED FOR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS THAT AAS MAY INITIATE LIKE THE FEEDING PROGRAM, SCHOLARSHIPS, GADGET SUPPLIES, ETC AS MENTIONED IN ROADMAP. IT COULD ALSO SERVE THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH BIG CORPORATIONS LIKE AIRLINES, TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS ETC THAT THE CEO HAS MENTIONED. THIS WOULD PROVIDE A SIMILAR SERVICE TO "INTERNAL LIQUIDITY" FOR THOSE STRATEGIC BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS.

5. 15% FOR AFRIQ ARBITRAGE SYSTEM TEAM: 1,500,000,000. THIS IS MOST LIKELY FOR THE DEV TEAM, AAS FINANCIAL BACKERS, AND OTHERS TO BE PREDETERMINED BY THE CEO ON WHO CONSTITUTE "AAS TEAM". THIS IS IMPORTANT AS AN INTERNAL REWARD MECHANISM FOR AAS.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE COULD BE RULES/RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE THAT THE CEO CAN APPLY REGARDING WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO HOLD THESE PARTICULAR TOKENS, IF AND WHEN THESE TOKENS CAN ENTER CIRCULATION, OR EVEN BE USED FOR BURN MECHANISMS.

6. 10% FOR MARKETING & OPERATIONS COST: 1,000,000,000. AS THE NAME IMPLIES, THIS CAN BE WIDE RANGING USE FROM PAYING SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS WITH THE TOKEN, TRADITIONAL MARKETING AND OPERATIONS COST. SOME OF THESE COSTS COULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE SECURITY UPDATES/UPGRADES, COMPLIANCE PROCESSES, SERVER COSTS ETC.

7. ALL OF THE ABOVE, ACCOUNT FOR 75% OF THE 10BIL TOKENS. THE REMAINING 25% WILL BE LOCKED FOR RESERVE PURPOSES.

8. 25% FOR LOCKED RESERVE: 2,500,000,000. LIQUIDITY LOCKING IS A PRACTICE IN DECENTRALIZED FINANCE (DEFI), WHERE PROJECT DEVELOPERS LOCK A PORTION OF THEIR LIQUIDITY POOL TOKENS IN A SMART CONTRACT FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD. THIS PRACTICE HELPS INCREASE INVESTOR CONFIDENCE AND PREVENTS RUG PULLS, WHICH OCCUR WHEN PROJECT OWNERS WITHDRAW LIQUIDITY, LEAVING INVESTORS WITH WORTHLESS TOKENS.

BENEFITS OF LIQUIDITY LOCKING:

INCREASED INVESTOR CONFIDENCE: LOCKING LIQUIDITY DEMONSTRATES A PROJECT’S COMMITMENT TO ITS LONG-TERM SUCCESS AND CREATES A SENSE OF SECURITY FOR INVESTORS.

PREVENTION OF RUG PULLS: BY LOCKING LIQUIDITY, PROJECT OWNERS CANNOT REMOVE LIQUIDITY AT WILL, REDUCING THE RISK OF RUG PULLS.

PRICE STABILITY: LOCKING LIQUIDITY HELPS MAINTAIN PRICE STABILITY BY ENSURING A CONSTANT LIQUIDITY BASE FOR TOKEN TRADING.

ENHANCED PROJECT REPUTATION: PROJECTS WITH LOCKED LIQUIDITY TEND TO BE VIEWED MORE FAVOURABLY IN THE CRYPTO COMMUNITY, AS THEY EXHIBIT TRANSPARENCY AND DEDICATION TO THEIR INVESTORS.

ATTRACTION OF NEW INVESTORS: INVESTORS ARE MORE LIKELY TO INVEST IN PROJECTS WITH LOCKED LIQUIDITY, AS IT REDUCES THE RISK OF SUDDEN LOSSES.

9. IF A BURN MECHANISM IS INTRODUCED, IT WILL INCREASE THE SCARCITY. COUPLE THIS WITH MORE USE CASES COMING ONLINE, THE TOKEN PRICE WILL GROW RAPIDLY. WITH MORE MERCHANTS, COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO ACCEPT THE TOKEN FOR GOODS AND SERVICES, IT WILL LEAD TO REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS AND POTENTIALLY, AN EXPLOSION OF EVEN MORE USE CASES.

10. THINK OF AAS TOKEN AS A GLOBAL CRYPTOCURRENCY WITH GLOBAL ACCEPTANCE, AND YOU BEGIN TO SEE THE PICTURE THAT EVEN IF ALL 10 BILLION TOKENS WERE IN CIRCULATION, THERE IS SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH TO GO ROUND AN EVER-GROWING WORLD POPULATION.

11. THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT, AND I AM PERSONALLY SO EXCITED FOR AAS.


THE ABOVE IS ONLY THE TOKEN, IMAGINE WHEN WE HAVE OUR OWN BLOCKCHAIN, TRADING ROI GETS BACK TO 1.65% DAILY, INTERNAL TRANSFER AND REINVESTMENT OPTIONS ACTIVATE FULLY, AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS CEO HAS PROMISED US? ALL I CAN SAY, IS BRING IT ON CEO. I FEEL SO PRIVILEGED TO BE ABLE TO CALL MYSELF AN INVESTOR.

TY Buratai Humanity Care Foundation Urges Nigerians to be Patient and Prayerful for the Tinubu’s Administration.

In a recent statement released by the TY Buratai Humanity Care Foundation, Nigerians have been urged to exercise patience and offer prayers for the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. The foundation emphasized the importance of laying a strong foundation for a house, noting that this is precisely what Tinubu and his team are currently doing.

The foundation, under the chairmanship of Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani Sadaukin Garkuwan Keffi, expressed confidence that the hope and change Nigerians are eagerly anticipating will come. They called upon all citizens to exercise patience and understanding with the current administration.

The Grand Patron of the Foundation, His Excellency Amb (Lt Gen Rtd) Tukur Yusufu Buratai CFR, has consistently in the past emphasized the importance of unity among opposition parties and the Nigerian people as a whole, especially after elections have taken place. With the emergence of a winner who has been sworn into office, it becomes crucial for all Nigerians to come together and provide the necessary support to President Tinubu for the greater good of the country. This call for unity is a reminder that national interests should always take precedence over personal or sectional interests.

By rallying around and supporting the President, Nigerians can collectively work towards the development and progress of the nation. It is essential to set aside political differences and focus on the common goal of building a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria. This unity will not only strengthen the government but also create an environment conducive to effective governance and the implementation of policies that benefit all citizens.

Furthermore, the TY Buratai Humanity Care Foundation emphasized the need for the wealthier individuals in society to extend a helping hand to the less privileged. They highlighted the significance of humanitarian services such as free medical outreaches, educational scholarships, and organizing orientations in various fields. The foundation stressed that no government can fully satisfy its citizens without the support of the people. They encouraged both financial and moral support to assist one another.

The foundation also emphasized the unity of Nigeria and called upon citizens to be their brothers’ keepers and helpers. They acknowledged that this is a critical moment in Nigeria’s history, where the decision to embrace peace and unity or succumb to disintegration lies in the hands of the current generation.
