The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has observed that the Nigerian troops that are fighting in all theaters of war across the country deserved prayers and commendation of all Nigerians.
In a statement signed by Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Madueke, the group therefore on all Nigerians of good conscience to rally round the troops “if only to boost the morale of these men and women battling to secure the country.
It congratulated what it described as “heroic troops” as they continued to engage the remnants of Boko Haram insurgents and other violent groups across the country.
“In this wise, we acknowledge the bravery, commitment, patriotism and sacrifices of our troops as they battle to keep us safe in difficult terrains even as they are susceptible to enemies’ ambushes and other vagaries of military operations. They lose their sleep for us to sleep in peace, some lose their lives for us to keep ours, these are truly gallant Nigerians under the command of an outstanding Commander-in-Chief, President Muhammadu Buhari, to whom we give the credit for literally deleting the Book Haram aberration from the map of this country.
“It is the patriotic duty of every Nigerian to encourage our fighting men and women and to assure them we stand by them no matter their circumstances: We share their joy when they triumph against the enemies and mourn with them when they pay the ultimate price and are brought in body bags.
“Overall, we trust in the indomitable Nigerian spirit, we do not give up on challenges, our troops have continued to exhibit this character as they successfully engage the dregs of our society that are determined to make our space the centre of their criminal enterprise. We are confident that with our troops we are winners on all fronts,” BMO stated.
