How to immortalize our fallen heroes, heroines-LG Boss

Chairman of Warri South Local Government Area, Dr. Michael Tidi, says demonstration of spirit of peaceful coexistence and tolerance with one another at this time in the history of the country’s polity, is a good way of immortalizing the efforts of heroes and heroines, who paid the supreme price for Nigeria to remain united.

The Warri South Local Government Chief Executive made the assertion Wednesday January 15 in Warri, during the grand finale of this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day.

Dr. Tidi, noted that crisis situation anywhere and anytime in the world, has never added to human value, hence the need to embrace democratic governance, “which has provided for amicable and organized means of resolving our differences”.

According to him, those who are living witnesses of civil war, religious riots, civil unrest and the various peace keeping operations, will attest to the fact that war situations are evil wind that haven’t done any society good, rather leaves scar of wanton destructions, human waste, increased widowhood, orphans as well as period of untold hardship.

The Chairman, Warri South Area Council of the Nigerian Legion of Ex-Service Men/Women, Commandant, R. E. Odudu, in his address, noted that launching the emblem was one substantial way of contributing towards widows of the fallen heroes as well as the disabled and aged war veterans in Warri South Local Government Area.
