The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, has called on Nigerians to support the Armed Forces in the ongoing fight against the enemies of the country.
He noted that with the support of the citizens, the military would secure the country.
The CDS spoke in a statement released on Sunday by the Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Tukur Guasu.
The statement read, “Acknowledging the sacrifices of our uniformed heroes defending our nation, let us face challenges with unity and courage. Your bravery will not go unnoticed, and we commit to continuous support.
“Seizing this moment, I call on all Nigerians to unite against common enemies. Support our motivated AFN, steadfast in defending our nation’s integrity.
“As we bid farewell to the year, look to the New Year with renewed hope. Stay vigilant and resolute in protecting our nation. With the commitment of all Nigerians, we will secure our dear nation.”
He, however, appreciated the troops for their sacrifices for the nation.
Musa said, “As we join the global celebration of Christmas and New Year, I express sincere gratitude to the Armed Forces of Nigeria and Nigerians for their unwavering commitment. May the festive spirit bind us as one, and the warmth of shared destiny resonate beyond this season.
“My fervent prayer is that, as we revel, we align with Christ’s teachings of peace, love, and harmony.
“Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
