Olowu of Kuta in Aiyedire Local Government area of Osun State, HRM Oba Hammeed Adekunle Makama Oyelude, CON, Tegbosun III, has congratulated the Chief of Army Staff, Gen Taoreed Lagbaja on the successful hosting of this year edition of Army Day Celebration NADCEL 2023, the first as CoAS.
The monarch in a statement made available to The Conclave issued by his media office in the ancient Kuta, said Gen Lagbaja had acquitted himself credibly going by the support he is receiving from both serving and retired military officers.
According to Olowu, the Ilobu, Osun born Army general needed the support of all and sundry to succeed in the onerous task of fighting insecurity across the country.
Olowu said the military remained the strength and a uniting factor, adding that “we must guide it with utmost care to ensure that our cohesion is not threatened.”
According to Olowu, “Our military is the symbol of our unity and cohesion. We must ensure that we continue to encourage our military to do more in their determination to rid the country of undesirable elements, causing chaos and those who want to make the country ungovernable.
“Many of our gallant soldiers have paid the supreme sacrifice, while others have become incapacitated simply to secure our land.
“This is the only way to give hope for the family of the bereaved and those fighting the unconventional war that their loved ones will not suffer in case of eventuality. Our military is our pride. Let’s appreciate them.”
