In the midst of the boiling issue of insecurity ravaging the peaceful existence of the country across the federation, former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar on saturday has urged Nigerians to pray for peace and nation unity, noting that Nigeria “needs God’s intervention.”
He made the call yesterday during the 2018/2019 annual speech and prize giving day of the Nigerian Military School (NMS), Zaria, Kaduna State.
At the event, Abubakar noted that the military school “has lived up to the expectation of its founding fathers by producing junior leaders for the Nigerian armed forces.”
He urged the graduating boys to prepare for the task ahead of them in the military career. He, therefore, called on Nigerians to pray for the peace of the country.
“Let us all pray that the Almighty God in His infinite magnanimity grant our dear nation, Nigeria the much-needed peace, tranquility and national unity, cohesion and development,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Executive Chairman of Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Mr. Babatunde Fowler also called on corporate organisations to support the Nigeria Armed Forces (NAF) in the battle against insurgents and terrorists in the North-east.
