Protocol
My Gallant Officers, Brave Soldiers, and Defenders of Our Great
Nation,
HOW IS THE MORALE?
ARE WE GOOD TO GO?
ARE WE MOTIVATED?
I stand before you today not just as your President and
Commander-in-Chief, but as a fellow patriot, deeply humbled by
your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to the peace,
security, and sovereignty of our great nation.
You are the shield of Nigeria, the brave sons and daughters who
stand between our people and the forces of terror. Every inch of
ground you hold, every terrorist you neutralize, and every
community you secure is a victory for justice, freedom, and the
future of our children.
The fight you are waging here in Katsina and across the
country is not just a battle for territory; it is a battle for the
soul of Nigeria. Your resilience in the face of danger inspires the
entire nation. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed.
You have left behind your families and the comforts of civilian life
to wear the uniform of honour and duty. You face danger not for
wealth or recognition, but for the love of our dear country. That,
my brothers and sisters in uniform, is the highest form of
patriotism. You are the silent guardians of our democracy, and I
salute you.
Let me be clear: the Federal Government stands firmly behind you.
As your Commander-in-Chief, I am fully aware of the challenges
you face. We are taking bold steps to equip you with advanced
equipment, superior intelligence, and robust logistical support not
only to defend this nation but to dominate and defeat every
adversary.
But it is not just about weapons. Your welfare is my top priority.
We are committed to ensuring your families are safe, your
allowances are paid promptly, your healthcare is guaranteed, and
your dignity upheld. Housing programs, family support systems,
insurance coverage, and improved remuneration are being
implemented without delay.
My dear soldiers, this is a defining moment in our history. The
threats of terrorism, banditry, and insurgency have persisted for
too long. Nigerians are counting on us and on you to end this
menace and reclaim every inch of our territory.
Let me hear you loudly: Are you ready? Are you committed to
ending this insecurity once and for all?
Let your resolve echo through every valley and forest. Let the
enemies of Nigeria know—their time is up.
This war will not be won by weapons alone but by your will to
stand, resist, fight, and triumph. As your President, I will match
your courage with action, investment, and unwavering support.
To those who seek to destabilize our nation be they domestic
collaborators or foreign agents—hear this: Nigeria will not bow.
Not to fear. Not to terror. Not to treachery.
You, the Nigerian military, are the spearhead of this fight. With
your valour and discipline, peace shall prevail. Stand tall. Be
proud. Nigeria depends on you, and I am with you—today,
tomorrow, and always.
Stay strong. Stay focused. For God and country.
May God bless you. May God bless the Armed Forces of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria. May God bless the Federal Republic
of Nigeria.
Long live the Armed Forces! Long live the Federal Republic of
Nigeria! Thank you.
