He spoke at today’s 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration held at the Millennium Park Cenotaph Calabar, the state capital.
“As we gather today to honour the veteran soldiers, may it also be a great opportunity to sit back and reflect on the pains of those alive.
“Some of these soldiers who fought so hard for the country are still alive and retired but have challenges of livelihood.
“Therefore, an opportunity like this beckons on government at all levels to reflect on the sacrifices these our sons and daughters have made for our country.”
The governor called on governments at all levels to reflect on ex-servicemen’s sacrifices for the country.
According to Ayade, “today’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day brings to mind the pains, agony and melancholy of our fallen heroes.”
He paid glowing tribute to the fallen heroes, saying the oneness of Nigeria today would not have been possible but for the great heroes.
