“What are we doing with the many, many widows, orphans, children left behind whose parents have long gone and forgotten?”
“They have sacrificed for this country and we must always think of them. Are we looking at their children if they have a normal standard of living?
“We must never forget the fallen heroes. We should continually pray never to witness such ugly situation of war again,” he said.
The Sultan added that Nigeria must do everything to avoid a repeat of the civil war.
The monarch also asked Nigerians to support the federal government in the fight against insurgency and insecurity across the country.
