The Kogi State Chapter, National Youth Council of Nigeria has joined others across the nation to mark the Nigerian Armed Forces/Remembrance Day.
Sounding emotional in a statement, the State Chairman, Comr Ben Jerr salutes the sacrifices made by the fallen heroes and heroines of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
He thereafter, called on Government at all levels to show up to the family of the fallen heroes.
“As we honour these brave men and women, let us collectively shun tendencies that inflame passions in our polity.
“Let us celebrate our diversity and see the differences as reflected in our rainbow of our colors as sources for strength rather than weakness to be exploited for narrow individual or group’s political, social or economic advantage.
”Let us lower the temperature of incendiary and divisive rhetoric, let us address the root causes of social tensions in our polity, which today, have given rise to separatist agitations all over the nation.
“Today, as we gather all over the nation, let us not forget the families of those who paid the ultimate price, let us give them a reason to be feel proud that their husbands, sons and daughters truly died for causes greater than their individual desires”, the Chairman added.
