Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has described the death of Brigadier-General Oseni Braimah, who was k!lled alongside other army personnel in a Boko Haram attack at Benisheikh, as unfortunate.
He, however, added that the d3aths serve as a reminder to reflect on the value of Nigeria as a country, and the value it places on the lives of its citizens.
Obi called for an urgent strengthening of the nation’s collective resolve to protect its citizens including the defense personnel who risk their lives to safeguard the citizens.
Taking to his post on X, the former governor prayed for GOD to strengthen those left to mourn the d3ad.
He said:
A Call to Reflect: The Death of Brigadier-General O. Braimah
The moment I heard of the killing of yet another soldier, Brigadier-General O. Braimah, who was killed alongside other army personnel in a Boko Haram attack at Benisheikh, I was quickly reminded of what other countries commit to when it comes to rescuing their endangered soldiers on the battlefield.
Such unfortunate incidents serve as a clarion call for all of us to reflect more deeply on the value we place on the lives of all citizens, including those who stand in defence of our nation, and on the urgent need to strengthen our collective resolve in safeguarding them.
May God grant his dear wife, the families of all the fallen soldiers, and indeed all those who lost their lives in the incident, the fortitude to bear this painful loss. May their souls rest in peace, in honour of their supreme sacrifice for the nation. -PO
