From Mustapha Adamu, Kano
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state has called on the serving Nigerian Armed Forces to rise to the challenges of insecurity in the country and rid the nation of criminals.
He made the call while responding to questions from newsmen after laying the wreath at the Armed Forces Remembrance Day commemoration in Kano state on Saturday.
He explained that with the regard given to the past heroes, the security operatives in Nigeria will take their responsibility diligently.
“There is no doubt this is a day we should be remembering every year. I congratulate the organizers for organizing the event for the last seven days and everything is concluded today.
“The importance of this day is to remember those who fought the civil wars and also who fought the Nigerian civil war so as to keep Nigeria one. There is no doubt we are benefitting from what they did in the past and therefore it is worthwhile to remember them.
“Also considering the security challenges we have in the country, this day is important so that our security operatives will take their responsibilities very diligently and very seriously so that we can continue to exist as one nation ridding ourselves of criminals among us,” Ganduje said.
