The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has saluted members of the Nigerian Armed forces for their courage, loyalty, sacrifice and resilience in defending our dear nation, particularly in the face of resurged insecurity in the last six years.

A statement by Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary said: ” Tge PDP acknowledges the bravery and patriotism of our gallant soldiers
in the frontlines, who despite the daunting challenges, daily put their
lives on the line, with many paying the supreme price for the unity and
security of our country.

“The Remembrance Day presents the government the occasion for sober
reflection to get more committed towards internal security and the fight
against terrorism in our country, particularly in limiting the extent of
avoidable danger which our military is exposed to daily.

“The PDP also demands that the government takes steps to provide our
military with adequate equipment as well as improve on the welfare of
our troops to ensure effectiveness in their duty to the nation.

“Our Party urges the government to ensure the wellbeing of the families
of our fallen heroes who gave their lives for our nation. Their families
and loved ones should not be allowed to continue to suffer.

“PDP urges Nigerians to continue to support and pray for the armed forces in their onerous task of protecting our country. Nigerians should also continue to supplicate for the unity of our nation.”
