The Coalition of Military Veterans has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for honoring his word on military pensions and welfare. This commendation comes after a successful and peaceful protest by the coalition and its affiliated pressure groups on December 4th and 5th, 2024.
In a press statement jointly signed by Abiodun Durowaiye-Herberts, REMENAF National Coordinator and CCV Spokesperson/Secretary, the coalition expressed its gratitude to the government officials for their support. The statement reads, "We, members of the Veterans community and families of our fallen heroes, cannot thank you enough for appreciating the sacrifices we made to hold this country together in peace and unity."
The coalition reiterated its resolve to continue upholding its oath of allegiance, even in retirement, as they await the fulfillment of other welfare promises made by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. They also expressed their gratitude to Dr. Awwal Abdullahi Aliyu, a veteran leader and politician, for his "behind-the-scenes" roles in interfacing with the Ministry of Defense during the critical period.
The coalition plans to give an account of the critical roles played by different actors in their next piece. Meanwhile, an official letter of appreciation, duly signed by the President of the Coalition of Concerned Military Veterans, Air Commodore Femi Oguntuyi, Rtd, mni, is already on its way to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other government officials
