Armed Forces Remembrance Day: Governor Mbah pays tribute to fallen heroes, pledges support for military

Governor Peter Mbah, has lauded the Nigerian Armed Forces for their sacrifices, including the supreme sacrifice paid by members of the armed forces, saying that the Enugu State Government would continue to support them in their efforts to make the country safe.

Mbah, who assured that the sacrifices of the fallen heroes would not be in vain, however, urged Nigerians to eschew all expressions of hate and acts of violence and insecurity. He stressed that only by so doing would the country truly reciprocate the gallantry of the servicemen and honour the memory of those who paid the supreme price in the service of the fatherland.

The governor gave the commendations and assurances at the laying of wreaths and parade at the Okpara house, Enugu, to conclude the series of events marking the 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day.

He said, "As we are all aware, the Remembrance Day celebration is an annual event to honour the memory of the brave men and women of the Armed Forces, who have paid the supreme sacrifice to ensure that we and countless others across the globe can continue to live in freedom.

"The sacrifices of these our dear departed defenders are most certainly not lost on us, and our only responsibility as the beneficiaries of their great labour of love can only be to ensure that their high price is ultimately not paid in vain.

"Consequently, we must constantly rededicate ourselves to the duty of maintaining peace and security across our great Nation, not only by eschewing all expressions of hate or acts of violence and insecurity, but also by supporting our brothers and sisters in the security agencies.

"In line with this, this administration will certainly continue to support the men and women of our security services in the state.

"I join you all in praying for the repose of the souls of members of the Armed Forces that made the supreme sacrifice in service of the country and humanity. May their gentle souls rest in perfect and eternal peace. Amen."

"I would also like to, once again, restate our profound gratitude, on behalf of the Government and people of Enugu State, to the Commanders, officers, soldiers and air men of 82 Division Nigerian Army and 553 Base Services Group Nigerian Air Force as well as the members of the other security agencies for their untiring sacrifice towards securing lives and property of the citizens of Enugu State.

"The current environment of relative peace and tranquillity we are enjoying in Enugu State is due in no small measure to your efforts, which are most appreciated and will never be taken for granted.

"I enjoin you all to remain the disciplined, competent, and gallant officers we have always known you to be," Mbah said.

The colourful event, which also witnessed the release of pigeons by the governor as a symbol of peace and love, was attended by heads of the other arms of government and the military formations in the state such as the Speaker, Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Uchenna Ugwu; Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Ozoemenam Afojulu; and the General Officer Commanding 82 Division, Nigerian Army, Enugu, Major Gen. Hassan Taiwo Dada, represented by the Garrison Commander, Brigadier General Murtala Abu.

Others were the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Police Command, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu; the Commander, 553 Base Service Group (BSG), Nigerian Air Force, Commodore S.A Eyoma, among others.

During the 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day event, held at the Arcade Ground in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, we urged all Nigerians to embrace unity and not just a sense of national identity but also a hopeful spirit. It is crucial to have faith in our system, government, and leaders.

Nigeria is on the brink of a resurgence, and even if some of us are not courageous enough to serve in the armed forces, we can contribute to our country's development by actively participating in nation-building and showcasing our patriotism. Let us not be the ones who perpetuate division and discord among ourselves.

Instead of fueling conflicts, we should prioritise our role as caretakers of one another. It is essential to steer clear of violence and any behaviours that do not represent our true values and ideals. We must remember that we are citizens of the largest gathering of black people on this continent, and it is through unity and harmony that we can truly define ourselves.

For the avoidance of doubt, Armed Forces Remembrance Day is not and has never been a public holiday in Nigeria.

We thank God for another year and an opportunity to remember those people who have sacrificed their lives for the peace and unity of Nigeria. The people we are honouring today have paid the supreme price with their lives and it's important not to forget their efforts. That is why the Armed Forces Remembrance Day is important and we should be sober about it.

As we remember the fallen heroes of the nation, we must ensure we put enough pressure on the political system to be more sensitive to what is going on in the Country and note that the most important assignment of the Government of Nigeria today is to redesign and restructure Nigeria as the fundamental defects need to be addressed in order for it not to be forced on us.

Oops! I skipped one.

In the solemn moments of commemorating the 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, I am moved by a profound sense of nostalgia as I walk down the parade, inspecting the guards and performing the symbolic laying of wreaths. The courage displayed by our gallant officers is unparalleled, matched only by the energy with which we appreciate their sacrifices.

It holds immense significance as we honor those who have selflessly served our nation. It is this deep-seated nostalgia that compels us to celebrate you, not just today but consistently, in recognition of your invaluable service to our fatherland. Your dedication and patriotism are unwavering and we acknowledge the sacrifices made to ensure our collective security and peace.

As we offer prayers for our fallen heroes and extend comforting words to their families, I urge those in active service to draw strength from our appreciation. We stand united, providing unwavering support in all aspects and encouraging you to persist in your noble endeavors for your sacrifices do not go unnoticed.

God bless Officers and Men of the Nigerian Armed Forces, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Earlier today, I was at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna, venue of the Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration, to honour our fallen heroes, reassure those they left behind of our commitment to their welfare, and strengthen our collaboration with the Nigerian Legion to ensure happy retirement for those who gave their all in the service of our dear country.

I also visited the 44 Reference Hospital and NAF Base Hospital, Kaduna to see members of the Armed Forces who sustained injuries in the line of duty and are receiving treatment. May the Almighty God perfect their healing. On behalf of the Kaduna State Government, I donated medical supplies and relief materials to the hospitals.

We are proud of members of the Nigerian Armed Forces. We are indebted to them for their uncommon patriotism, sacrifices and selflessness. We shall continue to give them maximum support as they battle tirelessly to secure our citizens and country.

Does it matter?

He is responding to accusations that were made against him.

Yesterday someone tweeted that there were also other people that were kidnapped and killed (he mentioned a Yoruba girl that was killed) and he alleged that Sarki did not raise funds for them or mention them because they are not northerners.

That's the allegation that he is responding to.

Was there WAFCON in 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004

2016 was held in Cameroon. Nigeria won. Asisat Oshoala was highest goalscorer and second best player. Gabrielle Aboudi Onguene was best player. There was a massive crowd at the final (Nigeria vs Cameroon). Gaelle Enganamouit was rushed back from injury for the tournament. That was the year that Desire Oparanozie scored that stunning freekick goal against South Africa.

2012 was held in Equatorial Guinea and they also won it. That was the era of Genoveva Anonman Nze, the Simpore Sisters (or brothers), etc.

2008 was also held in Equatorial Guinea and they also won it. The Equato-Guineans had a habit of taking players from other countries, so there were Nigerians, Brazilians, etc in their team. Some of their opponents complained that some of their players were actually men.

2004 was the wrestling final. The Cameroonians came to fight wrestling, not play football, but Nigeria won with a hat-trick from Perpetua Nkwocha and a goal by Vera Okolo.

WAFCON is always played in October/November.
