Governor Wike stated this at the interdenominational Church Service marking the 2021 Armed Forces Remembrance day celebration, which held at Saint Paul’s Anglican Church in Port Harcourt.
The governor said while it is good to have a date annually to appreciate and recount the contributions of the Armed Forces in ensuring that the civil populace can enjoy peaceful country, the federal government should do more for them.
He said the one off contributions made on such Remembrance Day is never enough to cater for those who have suffered injuries while defending the country or the families left behind by those who paid the supreme sacrifice.
In his sermon, Bishop of Diocese of Niger Delta; Right Reverend Wisdom Budu Ihunwo called on leaders in Nigeria to be like Jesus Christ who came to earth and fulfilled the dictates of his manifestos without distraction.
