The Nigerian Armed Forces on Monday performed a rendition of singer Kizz Daniel’s hit song ‘Buga’ at the forecourt of the State House in Abuja.
This was done as part of activities to mark the 2023 Democracy Day.
In attendance were Vice President Kashim Shettima; President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume; among others.
Earlier, President Bola Tinubu inspected a Guard of Honour at the forecourt of the State House.
In a broadcast Monday morning, Tinubu said that the government would not take the sacrifice of Nigerians for granted, adding that the removal of fuel subsidy was a necessary process for a better country long strangulated from unnecessary expenditures.
“Painfully, I have asked you, my compatriots, to sacrifice a little more for the survival of our country. For your trust and belief in us, I assure you that your sacrifice shall not be in vain.
“The government I lead will repay you through massive investment in transportation infrastructure, education, regular power supply, healthcare and other public utilities that will improve the quality of lives,” he said.
