“We honor our leaders, past and present, who have guided us since independence and extend our prayers and best wishes to the current administration under His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Our appreciation also goes to the governors of the 36 States, leadership of the Federal Capital Territory, Local government Chairmen, Traditional Rulers, and all who carry the torch of responsibility in every corner of our land.

“We specially recognize the unsung heroes, our security agents, whose sacrifices in times of peace and strife, have kept the fabric of our nation intact. Their relentless dedication to safeguarding our unity and peace is beyond measure.

“We also commend the current security architecture for its enhanced coordination and synergy, a testament to the visionary leadership of the President and Commander-in-Chief.

MOSIEND firmly stands against all forms of violence, illegal bunkering, and economic sabotage.

“We denounce insurgency in the North, banditry, and senseless bloodshed across our land. We call for peace, unity, and prosperity for every Nigerian and pray for divine guidance as we strive towards a stronger, more united nation.”
