Obiozor expressed delight over the GOC’s visit to the Ohaneze House, saying “without peace, nations cannot progress. And without the Armed Forces, we will have more problems. They are the pillars of Nigeria’s unity.”
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide on Wednesday
commended the Nigerian Army for its sacrifice in restoring security and peace
in the South-East.
Prof George Obiozor, the
President-General of Ohanaeze, made the commendation when the General Officer
Commanding (GOC), 82 Division, Maj.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja visited him in his
office in Enugu.
According to the Ohanaeze leader, the
Nigerian Army is one of the best in Africa.
He urged the various armed forces to
sustain their efforts toward ensuring peace and security across the country.
Responding, Lagbaja described Ohanaeze
Ndigbo as a key stakeholder in managing the affairs within the division’s core
Area of Responsibility (AOR).
The GOC said, “Nigerian Army is an
instrument of the state that helps to ensure peace, security and stable economic
activities.”
Meanwhile, he said the army chose to
partner with all stakeholders to achieve its mandate.
He commended the leadership of Ohaneze
Ndigbo for advising against the threat by the proscribed Indigenous People of
Biafra to use force to enforce its planned weekly sit-at-home order in the
zone.
Lagbaja assured the residents of the zone of adequate security, saying the division would not tolerate any acts that would threaten the prevailing peace in the area.
