While speaking at the Council Chambers of Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday while launching the 2016 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Emblem and Appeal Fund, President Buhari
stated that that Nigeria remains indivisible regardless of the ongoing
agitation and protests for Biafra nation in parts of the country.
According
to the President, Nigeria recently celebrated 55 years of political
independence and it continues to remain as one indivisible entity
despite several grievous challenges.
He
emphasized the fact that the country had witnessed a lot of internal
strife, survived a civil war and remained united since independence was
an “eloquent testimony” to the determination of Nigerians to remain one.
Buhari
said he was proud to address the “solemn” gathering in honour of those
who, he noted, devoted their lives to the service of Nigeria and the
world at large.
Describing the
current security challenges as a trying time for the country, the
president said the theme of this year’s remembrance “Motivating the
Nigerian Armed Forces for Effective Service Delivery” was very apt for
the present realities.
President Buhari launched the emblem with a donation of N10 million.
