Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has decried lack of appreciation for roles men of the Nigeria Armed Forces play in ensuring peace and unity in the country. The governor noted that each year, the Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebrations begin with the emblem launch.
He said most Nigerians do not attach importance to the exercise. Wike stated this, yesterday, at All Saints Cathedral Church of the Anglican Communion, Rumuokwurusi town in Obio-Akpor Council, where thanksgiving and inter-denominational church service, organised in commemoration of 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebrations was held.
The governor said refusing to wear them indicates lack of appreciation of the sacrifices officers made in fighting to curtail insurrection, secession, crime and all forms of criminality that threaten the peace that makes a healthy country.
