Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has charged Nigerians to always make sacrifice for peace and desist from actions that may divide the country along its fault lines, even as he said that the state will empower widows of slain heroes
Sanwo-Olu who spoke yesterday after he laid the wreath in commemoration of the Armed Forces Remembrance Day held at Remembrance Arcade at Tafawa Balewa Square observed that labour of our heroes past must not be in vain, if citizens remained resolute in defending the unity of Nigeria.
The governor said at the event which is held yearly to honour soldiers and officers who died in the course of carrying out their constitutional duty that the citizenry had a responsibility to keep Nigeria on the path of sustainable prosperity and unity, saying that such remained the best way to honour the patriotism and bravery of men of the Nigerian armed forces who died in the course of protecting the country.
