President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians to desist from actions and comments that could jeopardise the unity and progress of the nation.

The president, who said this in Abuja yesterday on the occasion of this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day, reminded Nigerians of the need to guard the unity of the nation which he said was “won at great cost”.

He said “Nigeria’s strength lies in her diversity”.

President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on the occasion laid wreaths in commemoration of the 2021 Armed Forces Remembrance Day at the National Arcade Eagle Square in Abuja to honour fallen heroes.

Dignitaries who also laid wreaths at the ceremony include Senate President Ahmed Lawan, Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila of the House of Representatives, and Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Tanko Muhammad, among others.

Buhari, who honoured the memory of the nation’s fallen heroes and veterans, recounted their sacrifices during the First and Second World Wars; the Nigerian Civil War and Peace Support Operations around the world.

The president, while speaking on the support for families of members of the Armed Forces who died in active service, said the unfortunate cost of the fight against insurgency and other internal security challenges was the unavoidable losses of lives of some gallant compatriots.

He hailed charity organisations that engaged in the noble cause of bringing succour to the families of fallen heroes and veterans.

Highlight of the ceremony was the signing of Register by President Buhari who later released pigeons for the Armed Forces Remembrance Day which signifies peace and unity of the country.

Jumaat prayers and Interdenominational Church Service had earlier been held for the 2021 Remembrance Day Celebration where the need for Nigerians to honour the sacrifices of the men and women of the Armed Forces had been stressed.

You have spoken well.
Same thing we have been saying on a weekly basis here.
God bless your parents for giving us a King like you.
It is always good and refreshing to see we still have reasonable members like you on this forum.
All the enemies of Nigeria will be put to shame las las.
As long as they never want to read any good news about Nigeria (what consist of Nigeria if not the people living in it),
Good news will always be far from them in life.
Children of hate, frustrations and perdition will all end frustrated in life.
If you love Nigeria (the people) good things will always locate you in life, and we will leap for joy at the end.
Swines, stay of this post, but if you are one, then quote to say rubbish, let sane and good Nairalanders know you today!
