The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun has promised Nigerians that the Country under the Leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is on the verge of rising again amidst economic challenges.
To this end, he advised Nigerians to embrace the spirit of brotherhood, uphold the spirit of nationhood and have faith in the leaders and government of the day.
Governor Abiodun gave the advice in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, Southwest Nigeria at the sideline of the 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration.
He expressed the belief that the country will experience a new breath under the current administration.
“Let us have faith in our system, let us have faith in our government, let us have faith in our leaders, Nigeria is on the verge of rising again.
“We should not be the ones that continue to sow the seeds of discord among ourselves, we should not continue to fan the flame of discord among ourselves.
” Let us be our brothers keepers, let us shun all acts of violence, all acts that do not define us as a people, acts that do not define us as citizens of the biggest conglomeration black people on the continent,” the Governor said.
Governor Abiodun explained that it was important to remember the souls of those who had passed in the course of defending the nation from both external aggression and internal conflict.
He said; “It is a solemn event because these are young men and women who went into armed forces knowing fully well that this assignment that they subscribed to is that which may cost them their lives.
“‘We remember them today and always, we remember members of their families, particularly their spouses that they have left behind, it must be another sour moment for them.”
Governor Abiodun called on well-meaning Nigerians to show an act of kindness to the patriots who paid the ultimate prize in defending the territorial integrity of the nation.
“We also want to encourage all of us to reach out to their families, government can not do it alone,” he added.
