Alatoye Azeez, the Amir of the Ahmadiya Muslim Jamaat of Nigeria, has urged Nigerians to support the army’s efforts to combat banditry and insurgency.
Azeez, who made the call on Saturday’s episode of Channels Television’s Sunrise, claimed it was against the country’s citizens to conspire with criminals.
We can’t be conspiring with terrorists or bandits and turning them against the soldiers, they say. Because they are sacrificing themselves, we must also sacrifice ourselves by fully supporting them, which is so ungodly and a sign of a lack of sense of sacrifice.

You know that many of them are dying, but they are still committed, but I can’t see that support for them. He added that he is very convinced that we must support them with all possible means.
The Amir argued that Nigerians must display the proper spirit of sacrifice, as demonstrated by the Nigerian military, while addressing the Sallah lesson.
The soldiers, sadly, make their lives on the battlefield, but I don’t see the country supporting them making that kind of sacrifice. We appear to be pushing them to the front of battle.
“But we are ignoring them and allowing them to remain.” We must stand by all of the soldiers; we can’t send them to the front of the fight or not provide them with the support they need. And I don’t just mean ammunition when I say the right support. He further stressed that the country’s citizens must stand by them.
Azeez urged the public to learn more about how to help the government address insecurity.
He continued, “We must do a lot of the national orientation, and I also concur with Mr. President that we must provide that support.”
“Pray For Soldiers,”
President Bola Tinubu on Friday urged the military to offer more prayers in order to protect the country from terrorists and bandits who are making sacrifices.
Bayo Onanuga, the president’s special adviser to information and strategy, made this known in a statement on X.
According to the President, who observed the Eid-al-Adha prayers at the Dodan Barracks in Lagos, “We should remember to pray and give to those who are very vulnerable in the spirit of the season, which is sacrifice.”
We must unite, care for our brothers, and care for our neighbors. Everyone should be shown love. Our troops must also be praying fervently for them to stay safe.
