Former military president, retired Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, has commiserated with President Bola Tinubu over the death of Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Lt.- Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja.
This is contained in a statement issued by Babangida on Thursday in Minna.
Lagbaja died on November 5, 2024.
“His death, especially at this point in his life and career, is not only a profound loss to his immediate family but to our country as a whole. He was a fine officer and a dedicated leader of men whose sense of patriotism was exemplary.
“His vigorous effort at the frontline of the war to end banditry and insurgency has already borne good fruits, and it is unfortunate that he would not be around to see it through.
“My heart goes out to his beloved family, his officers and men, and the country that has once again lost a gallant army chief, one in the fine tradition of his brilliant predecessors,” Babangida said.
Babangida prayed to God to grant the soul of the former army chief eternal rest
He applauded the courage of the Nigerian Armed Forces to make sacrifices to safeguard the nation’s democracy, its territorial integrity and ensure the safety of the citizens.
