Addressing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the royal father commended his administration for improving the welfare of the Nigerian military since assuming office on May 29, 2023.
However, he urged the president to do even more to further motivate the nation’s gallant officers.
He also applauded the new Service Chiefs for promptly taking charge after their confirmation by the Senate and receiving handover notes from their predecessors.
The monarch urged them to intensify their efforts to rid the nation of terrorist groups and restore peace and stability.
“Your appointment comes at a defining moment in our nation’s history. I urge the Service Chiefs to ensure that all resources—both human capital and equipment—are effectively deployed to end insurgency once and for all,” he stated.
Oba Oyelude further appealed to former U.S. President Donald Trump to support Nigeria through actionable intelligence sharing and provision of operational platforms to help neutralize insurgent threats swiftly.
