Armed Forces make sacrifices, endure hardship for Nigerians to live in freedom – Kwankwaso
Former presidential candidate under the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, in 2023, Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Wednesday said men and women of the Armed Forces make sacrifices so that Nigerians can live in freedom.
Kwankwaso expressed gratitude to men and women of the Nigerian Armed Forces for their extraordinary sacrifices of safeguarding the country.
In a statement to mark 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance day, the NNPP National leader said security operatives have been courageous despite enduring hardship in the course of their duties.
According to Kwankwaso: “To the brave men and women of our armed forces, on this day of remembrance, we stand in deep admiration and gratitude for your extraordinary sacrifice. Words can hardly capture the enormity of what you give — the courage you show, the hardships you endure, and the personal toll your service takes. Yet, you continue to serve with honour, strength, and resilience, embodying the very spirit of sacrifice that defines true patriotism.
“You stand ready, often at great personal cost, to protect the freedoms we hold dear and the values that shape our nation. For every mission you’ve undertaken, for every moment you’ve spent away from your families, for every sacrifice that remains unseen, we are profoundly grateful. The path you walk is one of duty, honour, and unwavering commitment to a cause greater than yourself — and for that, you are deserving of our deepest respect and admiration.
“The pain of separation, the uncertainty of deployment, the weight of responsibility — these are burdens you carry so that we may sleep soundly at night, knowing our safety and freedom are never taken for granted. Whether standing watch in distant lands, responding to crises, or quietly serving in roles that support our national defence, each of you plays an essential part in ensuring that we remain free and secure.
“On this Armed Forces Remembrance Day, we honour not only the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice but also every service member who continues to stand strong, face danger, and protect what we hold dear. Your service is a testament to your unshakable commitment to the greater good, and we recognize the weight of the sacrifices you have made — and continue to make — every single day.
“To the families who support you, we extend our heartfelt gratitude as well. Your strength and unwavering love are vital to the resilience of our armed forces. You, too, make sacrifices, standing beside your loved ones, sharing the burden of their service.
“Thank you for your courage, your service, and your sacrifice. We will never forget the price you pay so that we may live in freedom. Today and always, we honour you. You are the true heart of our nation, and we are forever indebted to you. -AWT”

INEC knocks PDP governors over election rigging allegations
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has responded to allegations from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors regarding manipulation of the 2024 Edo State governorship election.
During a recent two-day meeting in Jos, Plateau State, the PDP governors claimed that electoral irregularities prevented the party’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo, from winning in Edo.
They PDP governors also accused INEC of rigging in the recent Ondo election.
They alleged that INEC altered results to benefit the APC and urged the judiciary and lawmakers to enhance electoral laws to combat what they referred to as “institutional sabotage of the will of the people”.
In response, Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, called the allegations “unfortunate and inappropriate,” emphasizing that INEC, as a law-abiding body, cannot comment on ongoing court matters.
Oyekanmi criticized the PDP governors for engaging in a “media trial”, encouraging them to present their evidence in court instead of making unsubstantiated claims publicly.
He pointed out that the PDP has filed a petition at the tribunal to contest the Edo State governorship election results, suggesting they should provide their evidence there.
Regarding the Ondo State election, Oyekanmi defended INEC’s performance, labeling it one of the best elections conducted by the Commission.
He urged political parties to adopt a spirit of sportsmanship, stating, “It is not healthy to accept the outcome of an election only when you win.”
DAILY POST recalls that the electoral body had declared Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the Edo election with 291,667 votes, with the PDP candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, securing 247,274 votes. Labour Party’s Olumide Akpata came third with 22,761 votes.
Similarly, in Ondo, INEC declared Lucky Aiyedatiwa as the winner of the governorship election that was held on Nov 14 defeating the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate Agboola Ajayi, and Olorunfemi Festus of the Labour Party.
