2026 ARMED FORCES: SHOWUNMI URGES RENEWED RESOLVE AND GREATER COLLECTIVE EFFORTS.

Our Brave Officers and Men We Thank You.

On this Armed Forces Remembrance Day, we pause in deep gratitude to honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering patriotism of the men and women of our Armed Forces.

We remember with solemn respect those who paid the ultimate price in defense of our nation’s freedom, unity, and peace. Their bravery on the battlefield and their selfless commitment to duty remain an enduring inspiration to us all. We also salute our veterans and serving personnel whose dedication, resilience, and loyalty continue to safeguard our sovereignty, often at great personal cost.

As we honor you today, we also urge renewed resolve and greater collective effort to decisively end criminal insurgency and terrorism, so that lasting peace and security may prevail across our nation.

May this day remind us that the peace we enjoy was secured through sacrifice. We pledge to uphold the values they defended and to continue to honor their legacy with gratitude, respect, and support.

Lest we forget.
