Armed Forces Remembrance Day 2019: Gov. Willie Obiano Leads Wreath Laying. by Danniscott(m): 7:41am On Jan 22, 2019 |
Watch the Colourful event here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeAFqbfYTUo Armed Forces Remembrance Day 2019, was celebrated all over the country on the 15th of January 2019 in memory of our fallen heroes, who paid the ultimate price in the line of duty. Government at both the Federal and State level gathered to pay respect to the departed, pray for their continued peaceful rest and offer prayers for those who are currently in service fighting for the sovereignty of the Country and defending her against foreign aggressors. In Anambra State, Governor Willie Obiano led service Chiefs from all the security agencies in the State : The Nigerian Army ,Navy, Air Force, NSCDC, Nigerian Legion, NDLEA, FRSC, Nigeria Police etc, to the Late Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka to mark the occasion. Traditional Rulers, top Government officials, students and Ndi Anambra all troops out in their numbers to mark this year's annual event. Governor Willie Obiano dressed in a full Army Uniform shortly after inspecting the guard of honour, led the service Chiefs, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, the Chief Judge of the State and the host traditional ruler of Awka to perform the wreath laying ceremony, observe the 21 Gun salute and the release of white pigeons while prayers were offered for the dead. The 21 Gun salute evoked a Nostalgic feeling amongst everyone present as most of the fallen heroes died by the bullet and probably heard the gunshot one last time. Shortly after the event while addressing News men, Governor Obiano referred to the fallen heroes as the pride of the country and will always have special places in his heart having sacrificed everything including their own life for a better Nigeria. He promised to always lead the remembrance and prayers for the fallen heroes while pledging the support of his administration to the security agencies in the State to enable them discharge their duties effectively as Anambra has been rated the Safest State in the country. |
