Military Sacrifices Enhancing Nigeria’s Unity – Group

The Unity Advocacy Group (UAG) has lauded the armed forces of Nigeria for the noble role of keeping the country united.

In an Independence message, the group said the sacrifices of officers and men of the armed forces had been a major factor that keeps binding the country together.

The statement signed by UAG’s convener, Ifeanyi Aigbedion, said the current security challenges in the country further revealed the level of sacrifices the military make to strengthen national unity.

The group urged Nigerians to keep hope alive, assuring that all would be well.

UAG said the promise by the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Leo Irabor that Nigerians would soon rejoice over the security disposition was coming to pass with massive successes in the various theatres of operations.

According to UAG, President Muhammadu Buhari even confirmed the successes of ongoing military operations recently.

“We are proud of what our military is doing across the country. Bandits, terrorists and economic saboteurs have received the message that Nigeria is not safe for them. That is why you see them surrendering en-mass.

“Most importantly, we at UAG are glad that the Chief of Defence Staff has personally taken interest in the anti-bunkering operations in the Niger Delta region and other oil-producing areas.

“As we mark 62 years of nationhood, we have no option but to come together and fight the enemies of the country. Those who don’t want us to live in peace must reap reward for the evil seed they sow.

“We at UAG wish the CDS and entire Armed Forces of Nigeria a happy Independence celebration,” the group added.
