                        Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, has said the security threats being experienced in the country will soon become history.

General Irabor, made this remark at the National church service to mark this years’ Armed Forces Remembrance Day .

“I would like to specially commend members of the armed forces, especially the veterans who laid the foundation on which we are building upon to bring peace and security to every part of the country." He said. 

"There are challenges but the challenges are not as much as where we started from. That gives hope for everyone that as we go into the year, that there is ample opportunity to escalate the actions that brought the peace that we now enjoy and also to take it to another level where there would be no need for anyone to live in fear in any part of the country.” He further highlighted. 

The Chief of Army staff, Lt Gen Farouk Yahaya, while delivering his goodwill message, at the event, noted that the Celebration, is organised yearly in recognition of our fallen heroes. These are gallant men and women, who paid the ultimate price in the defence of peace, stability, unity and prosperity of our dear nation, Nigeria and the world at large.


                          Chief of Army staff, Lt Gen Farouk Yahaya,

He reiterated that their huge sacrifices will never be forgotten as many of the fallen heroes laid down their lives amidst the First and Second World Wars, Nigerian Civil War, Peace Support Operations across the globe and various Internal Security Operations, including ongoing fight against insurgency, terrorism, banditry and secesionism, amongst other threats to national security. He maintained that care for the injured and maimed personnel will remain a cardinal focus under his watch.

He concluded by praying for the repose of their souls.

On Thursday, the Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike replied the chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Iyorchia Ayu by blasting him for referring to some members of the party as children. While speaking in an interview with BBC Hausa on Wednesday, Ayu said those demanding his resignation are children.  “When we started the PDP journey, we did not see these children. They are children who do not know why we established this party,” he had said.  We will not allow one person to come and destroy our party." Speaking on Thursday at the inauguration of roads in Ikwerre LGA of the state, Wike said those who Ayu described as children brought him from nothing to be chairman of the party.  He said if Ayu remains arrogant and refuses to resign, it may cost the PDP the 2023 presidential election.  “You can imagine what power can do. You can imagine how ingratitude — how people can be ingrates in their lives,” Wike said.  “I thought as a chairman of a party who want...
