The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has paid tribute to fallen heroes of the Nigerian Army on the occasion of the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day.
In a statement by the National Chairman of the party, Kabiru Turaki, SAN, on Thursday, the PDP stressed that their deaths should not be in vain.
The opposition party urged the Federal Government to adequately fund the security agencies to effectively neutralise insecurity and restore peace.
It also advised all actors not to engage in actions capable of destabilising the country.
Turaki said: “As our country marks the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, we convey our deepest condolences to the families of members of the Armed Forces who died in active service while executing their mandate of protecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our country.
“We use this opportunity to demand improved welfare packages for members of the Armed Forces and all members of the security and intelligence community, to help them better discharge their assigned roles.
“On a day like this, we acknowledge that they paid the supreme price for the continuous existence of our country. In honour of those who have died to keep our country safe, we pray that their deaths may not be in vain and their labours not be forgotten.”
