In a statement he personally signed, Ajibulu, a member of the 2023 APC Presidential Campaign Council (Campaign Planning) said as one who was a member of the 43 Regular Course of the Nigerian Defence Academy and son of a former NAF pilot, the tragedy that befell the armed forces was a personal loss to him.
While commiserating with the families of the deceased, he also urged Nigerians to continue to show support to the military in their efforts to keep the country secure and flush out terrorists who are making life miserable for the citizenry.
“I commiserate with the Nigerian Armed Forces on the death of these gallant officers. These deaths are very painful and the loss of even one member of our armed forces greatly saddens me because it is a collective loss for us as a nation”.
Ajibulu said President Bola Tinubu will continue to give priority to securing the lives and properties of Nigerians.
