The National President of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Hon Bello Lawal Yandaki has paid tribute to sacrifices and legacy of the Fallen Heroes on the sidelines of the Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration in Abuja.

Said Yandaki, “Their hearts, once beating with hope and dreams, now lie still, but their legacy resonates in our hearts. As we celebrate them every year, the rural populace remembers them with every passing second, minute, hour, day, and night. They were instrumental to the domestic peace we are enjoying despite obvious security challenges, it is important to honour them and ask Allah to accept their shortcomings”.
Engr Yandaki emphasized that the sacrifices of the fallen heroes serve as a steady reminder of the price of peace and the value of courage. He prayed that their memory will inspire Nigerians to cherish the freedom they enjoy and honor their sacrifices, while also remembering in no small measure their families.
