Senate Minority Caucus, Committee on Army mourn Lagbaja
The Senate Minority Caucus led by Senator Abba Moro (PDP Benue South) and the Committee on Army, chaired by Senator Abdulaziz Yar’Adua (APC Katsina Central), have joined other individuals and groups to mourn the demise of the late Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja.
According to a statement issued on behalf of the Senate Minority Caucus, Moro described the late COAS as a gallant and successful officer who gave his all to the country and died in active service.
The statement, signed by the Media Adviser to the Senate Minority Leader, Emmanuel John said that Gen. Lagbaja’s time as Chief of Army Staff saw a great push against terrorism, banditry and kidnapping that are plaguing the country.
“As the nation mourns the untimely demise of the gallant officer, he hopes that his successor would fit perfectly into the shoes left behind and frontally tackle the security challenges confronting the country and continue to protect her territorial integrity, to achieve the late General’s dreams of a secured and peaceful nation.”
Moro extended condolences to the wife of the deceased, Mrs Mariya Abiodun Lagbaja, the entire family, the President Bola Tinubu, and the Nigerian Army, charging them to be consoled with the knowledge that the late General lived an impactful life and has gone to rest with his creator
The Senate Committee on Army, in its own statement, personally signed by Senator Yar’Adua said General Lagbaja’s unwavering dedication to the Nigerian Army and the country has left an indelible mark.
“His career from the day he joined the army epitomized courage and patriotism.
“His exceptional leadership and vision significantly shaped the army’s operations, ensuring the safety and well-being of Nigerians. His legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire and motivate troops to carry on his exemplary work.
“We all acknowledge General Lagbaja’s profound impact on the army’s development. His initiatives demonstrated a steadfast commitment to training, capacity building, and troops welfare. The Nigerian Army has lost a true leader and passionate advocate for its growth.
“To the officers, soldiers, and families of the Nigerian Army, we offer our sincerest sympathies. May you find strength and comfort in knowing General Lagbaja’s contributions will never be forgotten. His memory will continue to inspire and motivate us all,” he stated.
