Mbah made the call on Saturday in Enugu during the launch of the 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Emblems by the Nigerian Legion, Enugu State Council. The event was designed to raise funds to support the living heroes and heroines, particularly those who were maimed, aged, sick or bedridden, among others.
The governor, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, eulogised the efforts of the fallen heroes and called for support for their families. He commended the Nigerian Armed Forces for their roles in promoting peace, security and the unity of the country.
He prayed for the repose of the souls of the fallen heroes and heroines, “who voluntarily laid down their lives in the service of their fatherland”. He acknowledged that territorial integrity of the country depends solely on the Nigerian Armed Forces.
